That is simply not true. They preferred the long form because it had information on the parents' birth place, but you could certainly apply using a short form if you submitted other evidence regarding your parents' origin.

Ok, the long form not required but the info on it was required and easiest to get from the long form.

As for requiring the parents birth place could that be because they wanted only NATURAL BORN (Hawaiian) CITIZENS to be eligible for the Hawaii Homelands scam? LOL. Actually Yes I know why and I have lived in Hawaii. Aloha

Nope. The reason is that you have to prove Hawaiian ancestry, not just Hawaiian birth, to get in on the scam. Part of that means proving your parents were born in Hawaii, but there's more to it than that.

Now tell me, what exactly is on the long form, that's not on the short form, that you need to know to determine Obama's eligibility?
