A public one

It's not a search or seizure @Lord Zedd, it's a barrier to public office. I don't think it's under the purview of the 4th

did Bernie end up showing his?

It's still a shitty policy but I don't think it's actually unconstitutional

If its not unconstitutional can they also make you release all your text messages?

Can they also require you to release all your browsing history?

Can they require you to take a test?

Can they require you to fill out a quetionaire?

Can they simply just remove all members of a specific party?
to go to the extreme of it

or a specific race?

if this is allowed how do you stop it on other criteria?
I'm sure there's something in the constitution to protect against such a thing

Also, how isn't this interfering with a popular vote count?

and can they extend that the other way?
can citizens be stopped from voting if they don't release their tax details?

I don't like blocking a candidate for anything other than the constitutionally passed (amendments) barrier.

I think those things are age, citizenship, amount of time lived in the USA

the rules should be very simple basically citizenship and age

and not currently incarcerated

oh you have to be born a citizen

I'm pretty sure thats in the amendment

although that seems to be a bit iffy Ted Cruz is a Canadian I believe but he ran

wasn't he also born an american though?

you just can't also be citizen to another country

I thought Ted Cruz was Cuban or at least part of him is?

Ted Cruz was born in Canada to American citizens which means he was still born a citizen

His dad is Cuban

Yeah, I guess only his mom was American at the time, still counts

Kind of weird for people to start getting all huffy about birthright citizenship when it is so easy to get.

I mean, at least in defense of the Obama Birthers, there was some reason to believe that Obama lied about being born in Kenya on his college application to get around the fact that he was a shitty student.

Ted Cruz is the zodiac killer

Whats the point of having to release your tax records to the public anyhow? Are we questioning the IRSs ability to audit taxes? Call it for what it is, an excuse to shame someone

That's a really good point.

The left always blathers about how everyone ought to trust in the government, but things like demanding tax records be released shows that they don't actually trust the government themselves.

All they want to show is that trump is not as rich as he claims

Btw, income taxes will not disclose how rich he really isn't

Then they will look to expose what tax breaks he leveraged and villainize him for it

And count on americans being to stupid to realize that congress creates tax loopholes

*"So we're in agreement. 9-month olds should be able to buy assault rifles."*
No.
@Railingo
*"@Mandatory Carry I am the other way around. I don't think mandatory carry is the best idea, but if a kid can carry a rifle then he should be able to pay for it with his own hard earned money."*
No.

¿Do you two realize how rediculous you sound?

If he can carry it I don't care.

@Mandatory Carry dude, why don't you want 9-day olds to have constitutional rights?

Well, amongst other things, because there are rifles that weight more than most 9 month olds...
I mean seriously, ¿what are they supposed to do? ¿Shoulder fire it?
