Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
I think that, unless Congress prescribes otherwise, if an Hawaiian clerk creates a false birth certificate that becomes one of Hawaii's public records, then the accuracy of that record must be challenged in Hawaii. I believe that so long as Hawaii treats the certificate as valid and accurate, other states are required by the Constitution to treat it as valid and accurate.
The law that Congress passed to “prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof” said that the way to prove that it is truly the record of the state is with a seal and signature. It’s basically saying that a certified record has to be acknowledged as a record of that state.
That doesn’t mean that another state can’t require more proof than just that record.
For instance, if I used a Nebraska COLB to try to claim that I qualify for DHHL land in Hawaii, Hawaii would not consider my Nebraska COLB as sufficient proof (just as they don’t consider a Hawaii COLB as sufficient proof).
Is that constitutional, or does it violate the Full Faith and Credit Clause? Why or why not?
Legally the state presenting the documents must authenticate them to comply with the Full Faith and Credit clause.
They are then subject to investigation, and with the numerous vague and contradictory statements by Hawaii as well as their actions and actions by the DNC etc, there is easily reason to investigate Obama’s birth and documents. If he was applying for a sensitive position in the Federal Government he certainly would be investigated to the nth degree. He is getting a pass because of the race card and the deal cut with McCain, and because of the news media. It defies logic not to investigate Obama and clear up the record so we can have a tiny bit of trust in our government.
Apparently the powers to be don't care a tinkers darn about what we the people want.
Until we start some non-violent protests and actions, they will continue to do nothing as evidenced by Cantor's words today. Gutless Cowards who refuse to do the job they swore to do.
