Then you are saying his right to keep it hidden, if there is a BC, supersedes the U. S. Constitution.

Yeah, actually, the way it stands right now, it’s legal for him to keep it to himself. Or, again, to put it another way, there is nothing that legally compels him to show his birth certificate in this matter.
It doesn’t supersede the Constitution, because the Constitution doesn’t specify that he must show his birth certificate. It just says that he must be qualified (per the stated requirements). There’s nothing to supersede, since he’s already signed legal paperwork saying he’s qualified.
And you know that when the Constitution was written, there couldn’t have been any requirements (in the Constitution) to show birth certificates, because you wouldn’t necessarily even have one to show...
All it could say is that the requirements be met. And also, you need to keep in mind that if none of the other candidates in the past showed a birth certificate (although some have volunteered to show them), then there was obviously no requirement to do so...
