Oh please. Nothing vague about it. Look at the 90% tax on the wealthiest during the days of Eisenhower, a republican president, and look at it through the 2017 $2T tax cut where eighty three cents of every dollar went to the very richest and corporations.

U.S. Constitution for Presidential Eligibility Requirements must change. Add on must Not have IRS investigating you for tax evasion. And Must show filed Tax Returns for at least last 5 years. Presidential requirements lack for the present times.
