President Donald Trump might not make it on the ballot in 2020 in New Jersey if he doesnt disclose his tax returns under a bill getting a vote in the state Assembly.
The Democrat-led Assembly is scheduled to vote Thursday on the legislation inspired by the Republican presidents failure to disclose his tax returns during the campaign.
The measure requires presidential and vice presidential candidates to release five years worth of federal tax returns in order to appear on the states ballot.

Where is this in the Constitution?
Unconstitutional virtue-signalling and obstruction.
maybe add college transcripts and birth certificate too?
That’s a shame. Now Trump cannot win NJ. /src
With Trump, too late. Madcow already did it.
Their state is going down the toilet, due to the Democrat corruption, and they waste their efforts on this “Oh, look! A squirrel!” Crap!
Fat boy governor can veto the bill, Right?
All the use that bill will get is for the New Jersey Assembly to pass it around among themselves as a suppository.
“Where is this in the Constitution?”
It is not and this won’t fly.
All the problems in NJ and this is what they’re spending their time doing?
But since this is nothing more than political kabuki theater by a legislature with too much time on their hands, if I were the governor, I'd veto it with the veto statement that it's a GREAT idea, but should apply to ALL politicians on NJ ballots running for ALL elective offices!
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Funny. I don’t remember these Nazi bastards passing a bill demanding that the Kenyan bitch unseal all of his records.
What is this supposed to accomplish?
What a joke.....
This is an example of mental masturbation, perfected by people like Chuckie Schumer and Pelosi.
Technically the candidate is not “on the ballot”, only the electors are. So does this bill require all the electors to release their tax returns?
2 words: Jon Corzine.
Why is this a big deal? What is the worst that could happen? Is there supposedly some way here to “get” Trump? I know that is the desire, but I don’t see any probable outcome.
