H.R. 1, the bill favored by almost all Democrats in Congress, has a provision concerning the income tax returns of presidential candidates. It applies only to the presidential nominees of parties that polled at least 25% of the vote in the last presidential election. It says that the nominees of those parties should submit their income tax returns to the FEC. If a nominee does not do that, then the FEC is authorized to ask the Secretary of the Treasury for that candidate’s tax returns, and to make them public. That part of the bill starts on page 566. It is Title X, the very last part of the bill.
This feature of the bill may encourage more candidates for President to run as third party or independent candidates.
The typical person who runs for President and hopes to be elected, is virtually always someone who would have released his or her tax returns anyway. Donald Trump is the rare exception. Major presidential candidates have been releasing their tax returns for decades now, except for President Trump.
ARE ALL THE MINORITY RULE GERRYMANDER OLIGARCH HACKS SHOWING THEIR INCOME TAX RETURNS SINCE AGE ZERO —
ALONG WITH ALL THEIR DE FACTO BRIBES FROM SPECIAL INTEREST GANGSTERS ???

PR AND APPV
That sounds like an unconstitutional qualification for the office of President of these United States.
It’s not an unconstitutional qualification because the bill isn’t saying the presidential candidate must do anything. If the candidate does nothing, the federal government releases his return to public view.
The swamp is trying every trick in the book to sabotage DJT. This is yet another salvo that will misfire wildly.
REALITY CHECK —
one more super-obvious CLASS WAR machination by the RED communist Donkeys.
See various UN-constitutional *conditions* stuff in 1 Amdt cases.
DIRECT = INDIRECT in constitutional LAW.
How DEAD is the 9th Amdt ???
Again – see Spain 1931-1936 RED regime and then Civil WAR in 1936-1939.
Spain still having major problems- 88 years later.
This sets a bad precedent giving the government to power to control people through fear of losing privacy. This is saying that if an individual does something that is perfectly legal (run for president) then they forfeit any legal protections from the government releasing any of their information. What’s next, any person traveling abroad will have all of their phone meta-data made public?
