A way to start.
 
Ok, I agree my first post was not the status quo. But it was what I felt needed to be said.
Sigaba, I appreciate your opinion and I agree. There are several unanswered questions regarding the past of our political leaders, including the president. It appears you understand my major concern about the tone given. Thank you. We have an additional responsibility here. There are young men looking and reading these posts. They will see how professionals respond to the current political climate. Leading by example is a great way to project our posts.

The president should his records open to scrutiny. Any one who wishes to run for a public office should also be subject to inspection. I think a tiered schedule of openess would be appropriate. Currently here in Ohio to run for sheriff you have to show all occupations and employers for the last six years in order to be a candidate. There doesn't seem to be six years of any requirement to run for president.

Perhaps: Trustee - 1 yr open records
County Commissioner - 3 years open records
Jumping to State Reps - 10 years open records
President - 15 years open records or more if any status is questionable.

Just a thought!

I'd settle for a verifiable, seal-stamped BC, college transcripts and work record.

Ditto. It is not too much to ask of someone who wants to be POTUS.

IMO, his explaining why did he not disclose the documents in the first place is as important as his providing the actual documents.

Ojalá, he can get a four-year head start on writing his presidential memoirs this Christmas.
