It says very clearly that they are different, but allowed to count for the same thing in Hawaii. The reason for this is that Hawaii has privacy laws to keep the actual certificate of live birth private, for whatever reason. The actual birth certificate has more information, a signature and is more fundamental than the certification. This meaning that one cannot have a certification, presumably, without a certificate, hence why they count for the same, but strictly speaking, if you were being really suspicious, a certification is easier to doctor. On top of that, it might not contain the same information.
Honestly, I think Obama just doesn't want people to see what's on that certificate. It probably says he's a muslim, which really doesn't matter, imo. But he has fought in the courts to keep it private.
Why does it matter? If the document he provided is sufficient to establish his identity and citizenship and place of birth?
I didn't mean that it literally said Muslim on his birth certificate, though I see how you read it that way. And honestly, I'm not even sure it would say that, it was just an idea. It does seem clear to me that the president doesn't want something to be seen on his birth certificate otherwise what reason would he have for not showing it? It baffles me why he has gone as far as to fight in the courts to keep it private.
You must unlearn what you have learned.
