Barack Obama's problems aside, why does the Federal Govt. allow this practice? It seems it undermines the very reason for Birth Certificates.

I don't see any particular problem with it provided the certificate records the actual place of birth, and I rather suspect that is the case. Do you honestly think they would issue a birth certificate for someone born in Nevada and give the place of birth on the certificate as Hawaii?

I wish that a Federal District court would have heard these challenges.

They perhaps would have if someone with standing had brought suit against Obama before the election.

"Do you honestly think they would issue a birth certificate for someone born in Nevada and give the place of birth on the certificate as Hawaii?"

No. That would not seem logical. On the other hand, the statute is very non-specific. And it still leaves the question, "What's the impitous to do it in the first place?

I wish someone, preferably an attorney - maybe a Haiwaiian adoption attorney - who has practical experience on this subject would have commented by now and given a better, more thorough explanation - : Like why does HI do this, what does the Birth Certificate actually say? Does it look the same as someone who was physically born in HI. I've looked everywhere - nothing by anyone of any note or credibility.

I think you can tell from my posts that I give this whole BC issue almost no credibility. But, that doesn't mean I don't have some lingering questions. Unfortunately, the 4th estate, who's suppose to be curious about such things, apparently aren't. So, we're left with the crackpots and freaks to carry the ball. Somewhat sad this hasn't been better clarified in over 230 years.
