The Hawaii statute allows for the receipt of a “Certified Letter of Verification in Lieu of Certified Copy.” And that’s exactly what the Secretaries of State in Arizona and Kansas asked for and that’s what they received.

The Secretary of State of Arizona is not bounded by Hawaiian law. He is bounded by Constitutional law, and Arizona law, provided Arizona law does not conflict with Constitutional law.

If Hawaii (really Obama) refuses to produce the correct documents, then the Secretary has a duty to reject a candidate who has not demonstrated qualifications for office.

He shirked that duty due to unpleasant political pressure.

This may indeed be the case, but it is irrelevant to the point when such does not constitute real proof.

Again, Constitutional law trumps state law.
