Look at this scenario.

Let’s say a candidate for president knows that his birth certificate contains information that would either embarrass him or give people cause to doubt he is a citizen.

He runs for office anyway and receives the forms from each state and signs them. One Sec. of Elections from State X asks the candidate for his birth certificate.

Candidate’s crack team of lawyers looks at State X’s election law and realizes there is no requirement for a candidate to present his birth certificate or any other documents.

1. What legal recourse would the Sec. of Elections of State X have.

2. Would any court force the candidate to produce documentation not required in State X’s election law?

The requirement is to vett the candidate. The method of vetting for "natural born" is to view the birth certificate. The presence of embarassing information does not establish an exemption from proving qualifications.

How can you take seriously the qualifications in the constitution and the state regulations if they can't require a birth certificate?

As I said earlier on this or another post, the president is required to provide for the national defense, but there is nothing in the constitution or federal law that authorizes him to transport troops by airplane. Where does he get that authority. It is a method he may chose to carry out his responsibilities. Why don't you take that to court and see how far you get?
