Why? For him do do so would be to publicly admit the documents he provided earlier are not sufficient, and that the word of the Hawiian officials is not sufficient. No politician is going to voluntarily admit that.

The Hawaiian officials made no statement other than "we have a birth certificate on file". They did not indicate its contents. He would not be admitting that the documents were not sufficient, although they aren't, unless provided directly to a court or other neutral observers. He could just say he "wanted to clear the air". It would gain him brownie points, not cost him any.

Gain brownie points with who? Everyone who thinks he lying to begin with? Like he cares. His true supporters don't need any more brownie points.

Long and short is that without any solid evidence that he was born outside the U.S. then no court is going to force him to present his birth certificate.
