Hawaii may sell copies of President Barack Obama's birth certificate to anyone for $100 (£63) in an attempt to end scepticism over where he was born.
Democrat politicians have introduced a bill in the state legislature which would change a current privacy law.
That law bars the release of birth records unless the request is made by someone with a tangible interest, such as a close family member or a court.
The new move is an attempt to placate so-called "birthers" who claim there is no proof Mr Obama was born in the United States, and that he is therefore ineligible to be president.
The Obama campaign issued a certification of live birth in 2008, an official document from the state showing the president's birth details in Hawaii.
Notices were also published in two local newspapers within days of his birth at a Honolulu hospital.
But Governor Neil Abercrombie, who knew Mr Obama as a child, has been prevented from releasing birth information held by the state because of its privacy law.
Hawaii politician Rida Cabanilla, who is sponsoring the new bill, said: "If it passes, it will calm the birthers down. All these people are still doubting it because they don't want the birth certificate from Obama. They want it

Its just a smokescreen to distract from the fact he later became an Indonesian.
Those are his achievements on his resume'. Barry Soetoro, loser-in-chief.
That photo brings the same emotions and thoughts out in me.
I'd be willing to be everything I have that they don't...
right out of the communist manifesto overflood with propaganda to make it seem legit
I'd be willing to bet everything I have that they don't...
WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SHORT FORM.
WE WANT TO SEE THE LONG FORM.
How difficult is this to understand?
They have the same philosophy as the Fed. They have no idea that what makes the paper worth anything is trust in the people who issue it, that it means something. When they print up dollars on a whim it means dollars don’t mean anything. When they print certificates with no truth to back it up they take their own seal in vain; it doesn’t mean anything.
It’s unbelievable that these people have no understanding. They have no clue that trust and truthfulness are what make a civilization work. They think trust can be manufactured in bulk just by turning on a printing press. They’ve never known the hard work, grit, and honesty it takes to really earn somebody’s trust so that your word actually means something.
I feel really sad for them. They’re pathetic. Empty words, empty promises. All of it without value.
All they’re going to do is charge $100 for a copy of the COLB...they don’t have his birth certificate because there isn’t one. Once somebody bites on the $100 deal and gets the COLB...of coure the requests will stop, and they’re hoping that’ll be the end of it. Plus, nine will get you ten that Obama will stop the bill ever being passed...after all he’s spent millions not to release it!
He’s not a loser to the American people. I truly believe that the people will rally to his support in 2010. I just can’t see the hapless GOP doing anything to defeat him. They’ll just run another McPain-style “campaign.”
Actually it’s an investment.....after it’s proven to be a fake certificate....you can sue the state for much more than the $100’s.
Good answer, a notarized copy that proves to be fake may be an easy lawsuit against all involved.
Considering Hawaii’s current budget situation, President Barack Obama should not object to public (for a small fee) and private (for a bigger fee) viewing of this document. The impact on the economy would be a god-send. Mr. President, help Hawaii now. Remember sir,
