Not so with the tax returns
Not really. He didn't need to prove it publicly any more that the tax forms need to be public. In both instances there are internal audits in place. He was born here. It was validated before taking office. Nothing more needed to happen. And even when the birth certificate was made public some idiots argued it was a forgery or that they were experts and it was the short form etc. Our current prez was one of them.
I'm not saying either instance is right. Both are wrong. But the presidents is not all powerful and never should be regardless of party
I think I get what you are saying though. What could possibly be in the tax forms that would disqualify him constitutionally. You are right there.
