We the people have a right to know more national security answers about the life narrative, history, and background of candidates running for President and Commander in Chief, the person who will have access to the most sensitive of information regarding our nation's national security and the person who can waive security clearances for anyone in their administration. Thus we voters should be able to get the national security concern questions answered by all the presidential candidates in a uniform and public way. Requiring all candidates for President to fill out the National Security Questionnaire SF-86 within 30 days of declaring their candidacy should be made mandatory very similar to what they have to now do with the Financial Disclosure Form OGE 278e, which is already mandatory. Candidates should no longer be allowed to evade voters questions key national security questions regarding their life history such as those in Section 10.1 and Section 18 Entry #1 in Form SF-86. The major mainstream media is not asking these questions because imo they want to help the candidates evade answering them for their own politically manipulative reasons. Contact your U.S. Senators and U.S. House Reps and suggest to them they make filing of the National Security Form SF-86 mandatory for all presidential candidates.

Bull excrement. The United States Constitution outlines the qualifications for holding the office of President of the United States, not some National Security questionnaire.

At an absolute minimum, they must be made to prove they meet the Constitutional requirements as set forth by our founders and framers in the Constitution.
And yes, an SF-86 requirement is a great idea!

Being a Natural Born Citizen is no longer required by the lawless unconstitutional government.

They would have to significantly decrease the time for processing the eQIP. Right now it takes months to even get the form to the investigators AFTER initial review.

And the requirememts also specify the candidate to be ‘a natural born citizen’.
If investigations and disclosures need to be made, they should be on the candidate meeting that requirement

gosh, i don’t see anything in the U.S. Constitution that says:
“The National Security Questionnaire Form SF-86 Should Be Mandatory”

If investigations and disclosures need to be made, they should be on the candidate meeting that requirement I wholeheartedly agree with that. Candidates must prove they're natural born Citizens, and not just with a .pdf and a county health director dying in a mysterious plane crash.

Oh, great … let’s require presidential candidates to complete a form so it can be reviewed by a bunch of sh!tbag bureaucrats. What could go wrong?

No doubt about that.
And look at where it got us!
The framers were wise beyond their years...literally.

The discussion of Natural Born citizenship comes up often.
Some Freepers say that both of your parents must have been citizens at the time of your birth, for you to be a natural born citizen.
Other Freepers say that as long as you were born in America that makes you a natural born citizen regardless of your parentage.
Which Freepers are right?

The 14th did not address NBC, so the original sense of the term remains true.

If you want to make it mandatory, then put together a constitutional amendment and get it passed.

What good are the ‘requirements’ when they are ignored or lied to like in Obozo’s case? It is the job of the Party leaders - remember Pelosi certified Obozo as Constitutionally qualified - and the Secretaries of State whose job it is to examine the candidates’ qualifications for office. Just like the perfunctory electoral college that didn’t do its job on January 6th, no one takes their job seriously. These are supposed to put the teeth in those Constitutional requirements but sadly it turns out to be pure sophistry. That is why Soros diligently worked to install his minions as State secretaries knowing full well that by controlling those positions he could advance his will in elections.

You obviously did not even read the first paragraph of the article because it says ... “Presidential candidates now are required to file the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Financial Disclosure Form 278e with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) within 30 days of declaring their candidacy.” That requirement is not in the U.S. Constitution. Filling out financial and national security forms are not for constitutional eligibility purposes but for TRANSPARENCY and the right to know by voters who have questions in both areas ... financial and national security entanglements of the candidates.

They fill out the disclosure form or are fined. They are not barred from seeking office if they fail to fill out Financial Disclosure forms.

My suggestion is not that they be investigated for a security clearance but that the Form SF-86 be filed with the FEC and made publicly available for the voters and media to read regarding the national security concerns and questions the voters have that certain candidates are now evading answering.
