Hawaiian senior elections clerk Tim Adams states for the record that Barack Obama was clearly not born in the United States. However, he also says - like every single unthinking bureaucrat - that nevertheless the bureaucracy has determined that he is a U.S. citizen, even though the Constitution expressly states that a candidate for president must be a natural born citizen (i.e. born on U.S. soil). In other words, he believes that we are ruled by men and not law; that what an official says is more important than what the Constitution says.
