Obama’s mother being a U.S. Citizen does not automatically make him a Citizen regardless of his birthplace. If Obama was NOT born in Hawaii then she did not meet the residency requirement to make him a Citizen. See the correction by well-known law blogger Eugene Volokh who was also confused about the issue.

Correction About Natural-Born Citizen Law

Hawaii has TWO birth documents. Obama has presented an electronic copy of a “Certification of Live Birth”. To prove Hawaiian ancestry, the state of Hawaii will not accept a “Certification”. You must present a “Certificate of Live Birth” which is a different document and which Obama refuses to have released.

[Quote]In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.[Quote]
Hawaiian officials did say there is a “Certificate of Live Birth” but they did NOT say what information was on it, as they are prohibited by law from releasing that information. Obama could have it released with just a phone call.
Why does he not put this whole thing to rest by releasing the CERTIFICATE?
