ORIGINAL: Vendaval Good evening Thadius, I do not know the answer to that question. But I can tell you that retrieving official documents can be a time consuming and difficult process. (And I am not sure how much the differences exist state to state in retrieving birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, etc.) Hey, if it is a bureacracy is it not supposed to be easy for the citizens, right? We were recently trying to obtain copies of my step-father's discharge papers circa WW2 from the VA archies in St. Louis. But the building where those records were kept had a fire. quote:
ORIGINAL: Thadius Why is it that they waited until after the Senator's vacation back to Hawaii to put the certificate in a position to be photographed and handled by an organization that has employed the Senator? Could this have not been done in say June, July, or even the first week of August? I have had the uhm "pleasure" of dealing with those wonderful folks in St Louis... they are definitely not a model of expediancy. However, even as the linked article states, the certificate would have had to been printed on or before Jun 6th of last year, no? Otherwise, how did it get stamped and "signed as a certified copy". Therefore, one would assume that the document was in the hands of Obama by at least Jan of this year, no? I think there are laws about dating a certified document nunc pro tunc... I could be wrong.
