um, states?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

same thing happened to me when i requested a copy of my birth cert to get into Canada.  Looked totally different.  It was in a modern format.

Hence why the bottom of the second one says "Rev[ised] 11/01"

Why has Obama refused to release it? Why did every other candidate produce the document with no fight? What does Obama have to hide?

Because the original is kept on file somewhere with the hospital, and the duplicate version is no less of a legal document than the original?

Your assumption requires three things

1. That the state of Hawai'i would falsify his certification of birth

2. That they would falsify it using a new format

3. That the hospital-held certification of birth was also falsified

i mean, really?

So, basically (with questions for you to answer, States):

1. Birth certificates can be amended.

2. Birth certificates are not issued with the original location listed.
a. Why would Hawai'i issue a birth certificate for a birth outside of Hawai'i?  Would they?

3. Obama won't provide the original birth certificate.
a. What reason is being given for this?

4. For some reason, we should assume that if Obama can't provide his original birth certificate, he is so likely to have been born in another country that he should be denied the Presidency.
a. Should everyone whose original copy birth certificate is unavailable be denied the possibility?
