Both of those Secretaries of State requested confirmation of Obama’s birth vital records from Hawaii and received Certified Letters of Verification. Which contained weasel words, and were therefore useless as proof. As a matter of fact, they reinforce the probability that there is something seriously wrong with his birth certificate, because Hawaiian law makes specific allowances to provide copies of birth certificates to election officials. That they would not do so, but rather insisted on providing summations more or less proves the point in contention.
What the Secretaries of State needed was a criminal court ruling that Obama’s birth record is fraudulent, forged, altered, filed late or amended. There has never been such a criminal (or even civil) court ruling. There has been no criminal court proceeding at all.
Any effort to get such a thing will be dismissed for lack of standing. You might as well be a Jewish defendant in a Volksgerichtshof for all the good going to the Judiciary will do you.
By now we are all aware that these rulings are political in nature, not an accurate application of the legal principles involved.
The certified Letters of Verification from the Hawaii state Registrar of Vital Statistics satisfied the concerns of both of the Secretaries of State who had requested them. Both state officials cleared Obama for their state’s ballot.

If anyone remains unclear as to what the Registrar was saying in those letters or if he used “weasel words,” the Registrar can be deposed under oath; he can be called testify before a Grand Jury or in open court and/ or he can be subpoenaed to testify before a Congressional committee.
Both Secretaries of State received exactly what they had requested and they had REQUESTED Certified “Letters of Verification In Lieu of Certified Copy.” That is in exact accordance with Hawaii Revised Statute 338-14.3.
