In my opinion, this seemingly simple, reasonable request is a trap.

Could be. Wonder if the SOS is working with Sheriff Joe Arpaio on this. Arpaio could be the "constituent" he was referring to.

Someone in the state of Hawaii would have to risk being charged with misprision of treason if they can be proven a liar about this.

Doubt if "misprision of treason" would be the appropriate charge. Furthermore, that would be a federal charge, and you know that Obama's DOJ isn't going to go there. (Could be perjury if the Hawaii official were asked to swear an oath to the truth of the "verification.")

FYI, I heard of this on ABC radio news on Friday afternoon. There was some snarky reference in their story to the fact that the Arizona SOS Bennett apparently didn't ask Michigan for verification of Mitt Romney's birth there, insinuating that Bennett was biased against Obama.

Is that really a fact? Has his birth in Michigan ever been questioned? and how do we know that this hasn't been verified?

Perhaps not, but in life, as in chess, the threat is the thing.

The SOS could have already requested from all parties and not received the Presidents. He could have received Mitts so it is not an issue or bias, simply requesting doc’s from both parties and not getting one.
