California Forces Trump to release tax returns to get on Nov 2020 ballot

4. Is that Constitutional?

The qualifications to be president are:

" No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Can a state impose additional requirements beyond those?

What other things can a state require?

For example, in addition to tax returns for some arbitrary number of years, can a state require a candidate to provide:

1. A birth certificate

2. Academic transcripts

3. Medical records

4. Biological samples for genetic and disease testing

All of those are things that voters might want to know about a candidate. Are some of them okay, and some not okay to require?
