Hatfield et al. didn’t offer Obama’s birth certificate as evidence. They offered a copy of it which is NOT prima facie evidence of birth in Hawaii.

Hatfield et al. did not CHALLENGE the idea he was born in Hawaii, there is a specific legal difference in that.

Since they did not challenge Obama’s eligibility on the issue of his birthplace or did they challenge it, proving Obama’s birthplace was irrelevant to these hearings.

Irion entered a BC into evidence and stipulated that Obama was born in Hawaii. Since such a stipulation has to be acceptable to the judge and no one challenged it, it is perfectly clear why the judge accepted without question Obama’s birthplace. Looks like a tactical error on the part of the plaintiffs.
