Jerry Brown vetoes call for Trump tax returns

The story is much more than about tax returns. It is about setting standards for information required from Presidential candidates. My book, How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger, calls for explicit information to be vetted and verified by authoritative sources. That includes tax returns and mental and physical medical examinations. We the People have a right to know and those requirements should be established in Constitutional Law that is universal among the states.

Jerry Brown missed the boat and call on this one. Why? Because he is a professional politician the likes of which neither party should want.

"While I recognize the political attractiveness — even the merits — of getting President Trump's tax returns, I worry about the political perils of individual states seeking to regulate presidential elections in this manner," Brown wrote in a veto message. "Will these requirements vary depending on which political party is in power?"
 "I hesitate to start down a road that well might lead to an ever-escalating set of differing state requirements for presidential candidates," Brown said.
