Come on BZ, think a little here. He was born on a Friday evening. The paperwork was taken care of the following Monday. Government offices are closed on weekends.
I think your definition of rebutted is not the same as mine. But I am game - how exactly did she rebut this.
She rebutted this by saying that the BC# was given at the state HDOH office on the “date filed”. It doesn’t matter when he was born, only when the BC was “filed”.
The rules at the time said that Oahu BC’s were to be collected by the local registrars for a week and then all of them submitted to the HDOH office; that’s because all births were supposed to be reported within a week of the birth. Kapiolani submitted their BC’s on Fridays - on every Kapiolani BC that’s been posted anywhere, except one when the office was closed on Friday two weeks in a row (in which case it was submitted on a Thursday rather than letting 3 weeks’ worth of BC’s pile up at Kapiolani).
Obama was born on Friday evening after the weekly delivery to the HDOH so his BC would have been in the same pile as the Nordykes, who were born the following day. The Nordyke BC’s were filed on Friday, Aug 11th, just like all the other Kapiolani BC’s I’ve seen. For Obama’s to be filed on a Tuesday (if that were genuinely true) would indicate that he was NOT born at Kapiolani.
And in any event he would NOT have been given a higher number on Tuesday, Aug 8th, than the Nordykes got 3 days later, on Friday, Aug 11th.
