That certifying statement says that the INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE VITAL RECORD ON FILE was what they used to “verify” the facts of the vital event.
He’s saying that what he is verifying is what is in the vital record on file, which is what they were specifically asked to verify, from Bennett’s original request. Look at that request and you will see that he asked to verify the items FROM THE RECORD ON FILE.
But if you want to argue your point that they were verifying the true facts of Obama’s birth, then explain to me why they didn’t respond to the actual verification request form that Bennett originally filed - the one asking them to verify the date and place of birth and the parents’ names (the items relevant to Presidential eligibility).
As Wesley said to Buttercup in “The Princess Bride” (after she said of the vows “We sort of skipped that part...”) - “If you didn’t say it, you didn’t do it.”
Why did they skip the official verification of the critical facts from the official verification request form?
§338-14.3 Verification in lieu of a certified copy.Hawaii didn't "skip" any critical facts. The date and time of birth and the parents' names were verified with the statement indicating that the copy of the LFBC submitted by Bennett matched what is on file at the HDoH. Hawaii supplied everything Bennett asked for in his email dated March 30, 2012. To imply otherwise is to ignore the truth.
(b) A verification shall be considered for all purposes certification that the vital event did occur and that the facts of the event are as stated by the applicant.The verification process will not, however, disclose information about the vital event contained within the certificate that is unknown to and not provided by the applicant in the request.
