Obama’s attorneys won’t have to produce anything in court other than a sworn affidavit from the Director of the Hawaii State Health Department, Dr. Chiyome Fukino.

Half right, discovery would allow the plaintiff's attorneys to get a copy direct from the state of Hawaii, perhaps with accompanying affidavit, perhaps not. The judge will want to to see the paper, the seal, etc. The law in Hawaii provides that an order from a court of competent jurisdiction allows access to the vital records. A subpoena is such a court order.

Actually, the state of HI would have to produce the original document.
