There is none.
If the Administration or any of its appointees come out with the information, then it backfires onto the GOP candidate.
That's the simplest explanation I can come up with.
Also, you are assuming the Obama in the past traveled on a US Passport. Lets entertain the possibility for a moment that he traveled on an Indonesian one, he was after all once a citizen there.
Granted this is all total supposition. Most likely off from the truth.
Which brings up a sticky issue.... Why not just tell the truth? Show a certified Birth Certificate? Would that not be the simplest answer? He has posted up a forgery, and KNOWS it to be a forgery, a Crime. Why is THAT not being investigated? The FBI should be all over that, but for some reason this candidate seems to be above the law in all respects.
WHY?
There is none.
It is very vague. But that does not change the fact that US Intelligence certainly knows.

Obama hasn't always been the nominee. Before he was, he was running against Hillary. Before that, he was a US Senator. They could have stopped him at any time between then and now. He spoke at the DNC 4 years ago, and it has been obvious that he was very interested in the presidency for some time.
Also, Obama served on the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Both of which deal in sensitive matters. Unless the US Intelligence community are bumbling idiots who are endangering our lives and have been endangering our lives, they know. Because while one does not have to pass a security clearance to be elected senator, they don't just hand out spots on those committees to just anyone.
That's the simplest explanation I can come up with.
A simpler one would be that they know he is eligible, which would explain the behaviour of the GOP. They are taking Obama seriously, they have spent zillions of dollars on the campaign, and have done so at the expense of state and local races. Anything else requires them to be part a vast conspiracy or idiots.

That would be even easier. The State Department would know if he didn't have a US Passport, and would look into why he didn't.

It's not "just" supposition. It's what we are talking about instead of stuff like this: Colorado Senate race not as tight as once predicted(^). We are poised to lose races all over, and this hold our attention.

First, I'm not sure it's a forgery. Someone posted a side view of the raised seal here last week. And all of the "experts" who say it's a forgery seem to fall away. Plus, somewhere in Hawaii someone who would know would say something. Again, unless we fall back on the idea that the conspiracy is so vast that it encompasses the highest levels of US Intelligence, the President, and the clerks in the office of Vital Stats in Hawaii.
Second, what would you like Obama to do? He posted it, but people think it's fake. So, he showed it to representatives of the media, but everyone says they're biased. Who should he give it to? How far should a presidential candidate go to answer rumors and innuendo?
If Obama gives it to the people who file these lawsuits, that will be all you see in the next election - people will sue every candidate in every jurisdiction in the country.
Prove you are American.
Prove you are of age.
Prove you don't have felonies (required for some offices in some places).
Prove you aren't an alien.
It will go on and on and on and no one will be immune.
WHY?
The simplest answer is this: on this day, 8 days before election day, when Democrats are poised to possibly take the White House and maybe Congress, and win races all over the US, this is what we are reduced to talking about.
I am afraid that this is a case of us chasing our tails, oblivious to the ruination of everything around us.
