4 guaranteed Democrat electoral votes for years to come.

[Gay State Conservative]

Easily struck down in the Federal courts.

[Sacajaweau]

Sorry...It’s a Federal Election with Federal Rules...

[cashless]

No different than a poll tax. Instantly unconstitutional.

[tomkat]

You first, Gayle ?

silly cow

[martinidon]

I don’t think this would be constitutional. They may be able to do this for someone running for a State office but not Federal office

Two years away. Likely here will be another USSC obituary by then and a set 5-4 ruling against it.

[oldbill]

Too bad it is not constitutional, as if that ever bothered democrats.

[central_va]

A “bill of attainder” and very unconstitutional.

[dirtboy]

Yeah, Trump can ill-afford to lose a state in 2020 that he was going to lose anyway.

[jazusamo]

This will open a real can of worms for states to specify their requirements to run for president.

[Yaelle]

OMFG. Barack Obama was on all the ballots with absolutely no proof of citizenship before he was handed a ceremonial US Passport when he was a Senator (with no documentation backup). At least Donald Trump has a social security number.

[Mariner]

Unconstitutional.

But they all FEEL better now that it’s passed.

[FES0844]

They never let up.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Any respectable federal court would slap this down so hard it would break its jaw.

[PAR35]

It’s not like they are taking away anything he might have a shot at getting. Write off Rhode Island. Then figure an appropriate payback.

[skr]

The remedy for those who don’t get to see his tax returns is for them to not vote for him.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

I just checked and, sure enough, it's in the Constitution!!

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States and shall have released tax returns to the public.

-- ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 5

How in the world did we miss that requirement all these years?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Demonstrates the quality of constitutional lawyers “practicing” in the state....one would assume they need more practice to get it right.
