His mother was a U.S. citizen, so he is automatically elidgible, just like McCain, who was born in Panama, or Goldwater who was born in Arizona before it was a state. The birth certificate is a reprint, just like mine. I have my original in a safe and a certified reprint from the state of Florida. It says right on the front that it's a copy. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn227/Polarik/BO_Birth_Certificate.jpg §338-13 Certified copies. (a) Subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18, the department of health shall, upon request, furnish to any applicant a certified copy of any certificate, or the contents of any certificate, or any part thereof. (b) Copies of the contents of any certificate on file in the department, certified by the department shall be considered for all purposes the same as the original, subject to the requirements of sections 338-16, 338-17, and 338-18. ( c ) Copies may be made by photography, dry copy reproduction, typing, computer printout or other process approved by the director of health. [L 1949, c 327, §17; RL 1955, §57-16; am L Sp 1959 2d, c 1, §19; HRS §338-13; am L 1978, c 49, §1]
BTW, about McCain he was born in Panama. "Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth." http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86755.pdf Which leads me to wonder why you are pushing one candidate's elegibility and not the other.

This is pathetic. McCain was born to a high-ranking admiral on a military base in US-leased land from Panama with 2 American parents. Obama was most likely born in Kenya with 1 American mother and 1 Kenyan father. The whole Kenyan side of his family said they saw him born. Your attempts to label me as a racist are pathetic as you should see my other posts on that issue. Do it again and I can assure you that the Report this Post button will be pressed.
