Have you lost sight of the fact that Obama has NEVER released to the public ANY such document?
Obama has released a pdf image that is a crudely-fabricated digital approximation of a “Hawaiian birth certificate.”
There is also a video of a reporter waving a piece of paper in front of the camera.
NO PAPER DOCUMENT originating with the State of Hawaii has ever been produced for public inspection.
Under Hawaii Revised Statute 338-18(b) [point 9]: if anyone wants to inspect Obama’s birth certificate, they can do so with “an order from the judge of a court of competent jurisdiction.”

A congressional subpoena has the legal force of a judge’s court order, so that would also work.
“Congressional rules empower all its standing committees with the authority to compel witnesses to produce testimony and documents for subjects under its jurisdiction. Committee rules may provide for the full Committee to issue a subpoena, or permit subcommittees or the Chairman (acting alone or with the ranking member) to issue subpoenas.
As announced in Wilkinson v. United States, the Congressional committee must meet three requirements for its subpoenas to be “legally sufficient.” First, the committee investigation of the broad subject area must be authorized by its Chamber; second, the investigation must pursue “a valid legislative purpose” but does not need to involve legislation and does not need to specify the ultimate intent of Congress; and third, the specific inquiries must be pertinent to the subject matter area that has been authorized for investigation.
The Court held in Eastland v. United States Servicemen’s Fund that Congressional subpoenas are within the scope of the Speech and Debate clause which provides “an absolute bar to judicial interference” once it is determined that Members are acting within the “legitimate legislative sphere” with such compulsory process. Under that ruling, Courts generally do not hear motions to quash Congressional subpoenas; even when executive branch officials refuse to comply, the Courts tend to rule that such matters are “political questions” unsuitable for judicial remedy.”
Obama’s attorneys submitted a copy of his birth certificate to Judge Henry T. Wingate in the Mississippi ballot challenge Taitz v Mississippi Democratic Party Executive Committee, et. al.
Obama’s attorney also submitted a copy of the birth certificate in the Georgia Ballot Challenge Farrar, Powell, Swensson and Welden v Obama for administrative Law Judge Michael Mahili and the Alabama Democratic Party submitted a copy of Obama’s birth certificate in their Amicus Brief for the Alabama Supreme Court in the Alabama ballot challenge McInnish & Goode v Chapman.
