"Trying to remember there ever before being an attempt to pass legislation to compel one person to disclose his private records."

The republicans should attach riders to compel Obama to release his transcripts, long form birth certificate, draft registration...

Turn this on THEM - make ALL federal office-holders release ALL their tax records and visitor logs. Let’s see how many vote for that!

To what end? What are they so sure they’ll find to use against him? So far we’ve learned he paid unusually high tax rates; I expect full disclosure would reveal he paid $0 some years - but only because he paid it years early.

By refusing to release private info, he’s keeping a swath of detractors preoccupied with nothing important. More “power of persuasion”. Should he release the info and satiate their demands, they’d just move on to something else irritating and possibly more harmful.

And between a majority GOP Congress unpersuaded by the sponsors, and the victim/target of the bill of attainder being the final bottleneck to its enactment, there’s zero chance of the bill getting a veto-proof majority.

So, when do the Dems meet? With whom do they meet? Who gives them the orders for talking points as they are all on the same page? Who’s phone records do we need to monitor? Do they talk daily with valjar? Upchuck? Stretch? Who’s the leader of the bunch? Seems Perez is off the reservation doing his own thing. Cussing and swearing up a storm in front of little girls. Disgusting Bad pig-cop photo back on Senate floor? WHO thinks like this? Who but the left even thinks these evil protests, like Berkley? This is out of control.

Come ON GOP...... step up to the plate. Seems that the left, the anti-Trump folks, the Soros groups and lefties in Congress have not yet to understand November 8, 2016.

So much to ponder.

Heck, the Pubbies should just offer an amendment that Obama’s college records be released as well. Fair play, after all ...

Unconstitutional. See the part on Bills of Attainder. Not that the Constitution means anything to the lawless baby-murderers.

It’s none of their damn business. If he released his taxes, that would still not satisfy them. Tell them to f off, Trump.

Even if they got 100% of the House and Senate to vote yes, they still could not compel POTUS to release anything he does not want to release.

They simply have no way to enforce it.

I hope somebody stands up on the floor and reminds them of that.

Nope, and it would be a terrible precedent if it ever became law. A person does not forfiet his or her constitutional right to equal protection under the law just because they run for president and the opposite party doesn’t like them.

Did they want the Clintons to send over all of their information on everything?
