His subsequent history could have resulted in an amended BC being filed following his mother’s second marriage to an Indonesian citizen and his adoption by him.

There's no evidence his BC was ever amended. But so what if it was? How is that at all relevant to his eligibility?

It’s also possible that the COLB is bogus.

Sure it's possible, in the same way that anything is possible.

You can't know for sure that the government is not covering up evidence of extra terrestrial visitors. It's possible.

It's also possible Obama would forge a COLB, even though we know he could get a real one listing Hawaii as the birthplace.

Both of the above are possible, but they're so unlikely that they aren't possibilities that any rational person would take seriously.

There are ways that the Hawaii official’s statement could be the truth, but not the whole truth.

The only thing that matters to his eligibility is that he was born in Hawaii. Nothing else in his vital records could disqualify him from the presidency.

It’s also possible that she was not telling the truth.

Yeah, it's possible in the same way it's possible that the moon landing was staged, or Elvis is really alive, or [fill in your favorite conspiracy theory].

“It’s also possible Obama would forge a COLB, even though we know he could get a real one listing Hawaii as the birthplace.”

That is a lie. No one, including you, knows that Obama was born in Hawaii at this point. You all are sure exerting a lot of effort to avoid proving that, aren’t you.

What’s wrong with requiring the best evidence available? Why take a general statement from an official when a long-form BC is on file? If I need to show my BC, it’s not enough to say, “Call the lady in the state vital records office; she’ll tell you.”
