(May 8, 2023) — The 2024 presidential election cycle is now underway with a few candidates having already declared their candidacy. 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.
From my experience and from the experience of others who have contacted me with questions about various candidates, several of the candidates are not being responsive to this author and others when sent questions regarding their full life narrative, background, and family history. Their tactic seems to be to just ignore such questions from a voter and not answer other than to put the questioner’s email address immediately onto the solicitations for donations email list. They will keep ignoring certain questions unless it is asked of them by a persistent major media reporter. And for certain candidates, certain questions never seem to be asked of them by anyone in the major mainstream media.
What questions are several candidates evading answering to concerned voters contacting them and their campaigns you may ask? Well, just peruse the national security concern questions in Form SF-86 and you will see them. Particularly Sections 10, 18, and 19 to name a few. Full transparency and disclosure is owed to the voters asking the same questions, not evasion of answering or ignoring the voter by the candidate. And the major mainstream media needs to ask each presidential candidate those national security questions in the National Security Questionnaire Form SF-86. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/05/08/transparency-requirements-for-candidates-for-president-and-vice-president-more-is-needed-in-our-modern-electoral-process-filing-the-oge-financial-disclosure-form-278e-is-mandator/

Bull excrement. The United States Constitution outlines the qualifications for holding the office of President of the United States, not some National Security questionnaire.
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.
+1
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”
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 progressives are nitwits for all their years.
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.

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.
