   Did you actually read the bill? It requires an original document or a certified copy. Obama HAS a certified copy of a Hawaii birth document as the bill calls it. The President will not have any problems meeting the Oklahoma documentary requirements if the bill is passed and signed.

   no. It requires a certified copy of the actual Birth certificate, not short form Certification of live birth, which is nothing

   Is true? If so, what is the point of the bill?

   “The proposal would not restrict Obama’s access to the general election ballot because another section of state law requires the state election board to accept presidential candidates presented to it by the major parties.”

   Dr. Taitz, the bill only requires that 0bama produce a COLB.

   The candidates shall further be required to provide proof of identity and United States citizenship to the State Election Board. A candidate shall present a current state or federal government-issued photo identification to provide proof of identity, and shall also present one of the following documents to provide proof of United States natural-born citizenship:
   1. An original birth document issued by a state, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia, or a certified copy thereof;
   2. An original birth certificate issued by the federal government, or a certified copy thereof;
   3. An original United States Certificate of Birth Abroad; or
   4. An original Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States.

   A candidate shall present a current state or federal government-issued photo identification to provide proof of identity, and shall also present one of the following documents to provide proof of United States natural-born citizenship:
   1. An original birth document issued by a state, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the District of Columbia, or a certified copy thereof;
   2. An original birth certificate issued by the federal government, or a certified copy thereof;
   3. An original United States Certificate of Birth Abroad, or certified copy thereof; or
   4. An original Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States, or certified copy thereof.
   Copies of these documents shall be made by the State Election Board and kept available for public inspection pursuant to the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

   —————————————

   The problem with this legislation is that items 3 and 4 actually prove that the candidate is NOT a natural born citizen.

   To receive your citizenship naturally, you must be born in the United States, not abroad. To receive your citizenship naturally, both of your parents must be citizens. To prove that you received your citizenship naturally, you have to prove that you were born in the country and that both of your parents were citizens at the time of your birth. You will need more than just a certified copy of your original birth certificate to prove this.

   The birth certificate copy can prove that you were born in the US if it has the signature of a credible witness and attending physician. It will name your parents, but you still have to submit proof that your parents were citizens when you were born. That will require their birth certificates or naturalization papers.

   Look at the forms of identification OK will accept as proof that one is eligible to be POTUS.

   Since when are citizens of Puerto Rico eligible to be POTUS?

   And #4 clearly indicates OK recognizes a person with only one citizen parent as eligible no matter where the person was born.
