“Useless” to you. But every person in an official capacity who utilized copies of the birth vital record to make determinations on eligibility found the certification statements to be useful.
People who are familiar with government vital records understand that an “abstract” is a short form birth certificate and a “copy” is a long form birth certificate.
Those certification statements have appeared on Hawaii vital records for many years and they are the same on thousands of birth vital records.
Triers of Fact and Chief Election Officers also understand that a “record on file” is an original edition birth vital record.
There is zero proof that the state of Hawaii will issue birth certificates for children not born in Hawaii THAT SAY THE CHILD WAS BORN IN HAWAII.
Hawaii has said that like many other states, a person born in a foreign country can get a Hawaii birth certifcate that says they were born in that foreign land.
No one has ever produced an example of a birth record that says someone was born in the state of Hawaii when they were actually born someplace else.
Where is the statement that you think means that Hawaii doesn’t stand by its birth vital records?
If anyone in an official capacity had ever rejected the Obama birth record as proof of birth, you’d have a valid point but over the last seven years...nope.
If members of Congress would like to inspect the original, vault edition hard copy, they can issue a Congressional Subpoena for it and if Hawaii refused to release it for inspection, Congress Committee Chairs can go to a court and get a court order. If that is violated, a contempt of court citation allows a judge to lock the offender up in federal prison for up to 18 months or until they comply.
Its unfortunate that no member of Congress has shown any interest in pursuing this. If for no other reason than to end the birth certificate part of the debate, once and for all.
Remember Bill and Hillary Clinton’s accomplice Susan McDougall? She did 18 months in various federal prisons when U.S. District Court Judge Susan Weber Wright held her in civil contempt in the Whitewater Trial.
In the same manner that the Authorities found Marinus van der Lubbe, Useful.
I cannot help the fact that people of normal intelligence are smarter than what passes for judges these days, but most people of normal intelligence would not be fooled by a non-determinative certification.
Of course we can suspect these judges aren't really that stupid, but merely pretending to be so.
