Our president is not legally required to show his tax returns to congress. Those presidents who did show their tax returns to congress in the past did so illegally thereby setting a false precedent in law and should not have done it. If substantive law doesn’t require an action be done by a citizen, that action has no force of law and should not be done. My readings of the relationship of these branches of government legally is that the only way out of this standoff between president Trump and congress is the power of the vote.President Trump, as a duly elected titular head of this nation can be voted out of office, but his rights as a U.S. citizen and as president cannot be ignored by the legislative and judicial branches of our government in their search for ” mere suspicion ” and ” probable cause ” of criminal behaviors by a sitting president.
