More on the Question of Presidential Elegibility

Nancy Pelosi sent a unique eligibility document to the state of Hawaii. It's not clear why Hawaii was being told that Obama was eligible. The Democratic party in Hawaii refused to certify Barack Obama as eligible, so Nancy Pelosi had to interpose herself. Hawaii had endorsed the party nominees in 2000 and 2004. Only in 2008 did a different procedure apply. Is this cogent? I'm not at all sure. It sounds a bit Mickey Mouse to me. It is strange that a special intervention appears to have occurred. The on-going doubt about the president's eligibility seems to be justified if only because on a matter so fundamental and on an issue so trivially resolved if the birth certificate actually exists, it should have long since have been resolved. So it seems likely that there is no birth certificate which means that the president may not have a way of demonstrating his eligibility to serve regardless of his place of birth.
