@Kasz. He released his birth certificate. It was checked in person by the staff of Factcheck who confirmed it was really there in Honolulu. It says 'County of Birth: Honolulu' on the certificate.

You cannot get a birth certificate saying those things unless you were born in Hawaii.

From what I recall, that birthcertificate is the "limited" birthcertificate.  There are two in Hawaii.

One of which you can get by being born in another country by american parents, but moving here within a specific time.

For example on my birth certificate it also tends to list the hospital you were born at and who delivered you... etc.

Could be wrong.  But I don't think that I am.

Ah, practially say about as much on Factcheck.  The problem lies in it being the short form.

No.  The short form is not a different class of birth certificate; it is more like an "abridged" birth certificate because it is the policy of the State of Hawaii to no longer give out the full copies, only the short version.

I admit that the above link does not specifically, explicitly, and totally destroy the possibility that somehow in Hawaii you are allowed to show up with a baby and get it retroactively legally born in Hawaii, but I must ask you to give some evidence to that effect.  And even if you could, IMO that would count as "natural born" for legal purposes, and thus presidential-candidate-qualifying purposes. 

[edit:  You will note that not only is it a Hawaiian birth certificate, but a Hawaiian birth certificate of a birth that actually took place in Hawaii (Honolulu, Oahu, specifically).]

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
