The "layering" is an artifact of Adobe, not necessarily the document. If you open it up in some other print format software you'll see boxes around the various data elements ~ but it's all on one layer.
If you ever had to learn DEC systems updating protocols you'd know how this goes ~ or if you ran a PBX and had to update names, phone numbers, linkages, etc. you'd discover the same sort of internal structures.
What Trembley is doing is avoiding saying why those layers occur. He imagines that telling people something will simply generate more questions. As it is that very attitude is what got Obama in trouble with the public. He could have done this years ago but feared "questions".
Remember, Obama and his team are fairly stupid and they have reason to believe that people may ask questions they can't answer.
Obama should fix that problem sooner rather than later. Get some people into the White House on the administrative processes side who know up from down (just for a start, we can work up into the ranks of the Genius Bar later).
shut up you troll
you have no idea what you are talking about and are a proven idiot, libtard shill, and you have been doing this all day long today
you toss all kinds of complex language that seems to make sense but means nothing (Like the gobbledy-gook on star trek about “tachyon emmision field reverse polarity”)
Nothing you said means anything in this context of what should have been a simple xerox copy of a birth certificate than any one of us can get except, apparently, the pResident.
