Also, HRS §338-17.8 did not become Hawaiian law until 1982 and therefore has nothing to do with Obama.
Obama supporters keep trying to claim that but you all keep missing that the R in HRS means REVISED. It was REVISED in 1982.
It goes back to:
§338-17 Late or altered certificate as evidence. The probative value of a “late” or “altered” certificate shall be determined by the judicial or administrative body or official before whom the certificate is offered as evidence. [L 1949, c 327, §21; RL 1955, §57-20; HRS §338-17; am L 1997, c 305, §4]
S338-17 allows for altered certificates and THAT ONE took effect in 1949 well within the timeframe for Obama's mama to do whatever evil she could think up.
