Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie, says he wants to find a way to release more information about President Barack Obama's Hawaii birth.
The democrat wants to dispel conspiracy theories Obama was born elsewhere, reports AP.
Today his spokesman, Donalyn Dela Cruz, said Abercrombie intends to ask the state attorney general's office and health officials if more of Obama's birth documentation is available.
AP quotes Dela Cruz saying the newly elected governor is friends with Obama's parents, "so there is a personal issue at hand."
Hawaii's privacy laws have long barred the release of a certified birth certificate to anyone who doesn't have a tangible interest.
Neil Abercrombie (born June 26, 1938) is the seventh and current Governor of Hawaii. He was the Democratic U.S. Representative of the First Congressional District of Hawaii which comprises urban Honolulu. He served in Congress from 1991 to 2010 when he resigned to run for governor. He was also a state legislator and member of the Honolulu City Council. At the age of 72, Abercrombie is the oldest current United States governor until governor-elect Jerry Brown of California is sworn in on 3 January, 2011.
