Obama's childhood home, National Landmark

Hawaii lawmakers have voted to advance a resolution to make the apartment building where Barack Obama grew up a national landmark, yet there is still no move to recognize any island hospital as his birthplace.

Placing a site on the National Register of Historic Places is mostly a recognition of its significance without many obligations. The listing comes with investment tax credits and does not limit property rights.

With the recognition available, why would the hospital where he was born nnot apply for the National Landmark designation?

Maybe there is some sort of verification of facts that needs to be done?

The Kenyan government has already put up a marker at his birthplace in Kenya.
