So, focus on this: Why can't Speaker Boehner or Congressman Issa just subpoena these materials?

They can of course, but they won't. The question you should as is why not?

Most likely it’s because they have had consultations with the former Republican administration in Hawai’i including Governor Lingle and Director of Health Fukino and those officials have communicated to them to leave this issue alone.
Congressman Issa has already said that he won’t investigate anything regarding Obama that precedes his inauguration.
Speaker Boehner says: “The state of Hawaii says that the President was born there, that’s good enough for me.”
And now there’s Cantor’s interview response.

Well, that is the queation I've been asking. I hate to think that it's just that they're too timid to send out a subpoena, but that could be it. Boehner and Issa may be guys who don't have any kind of philosophical or political agenda beyond just playing prominent roles and occupying prominent positions. Maybe they're ignorant about what the constitution requires.

I don't like any of those answers. Why do you think they haven't subpoenaed the materials?
