I also think everybody that the president chooses for his/her cabinet should show the same. They should also be made public. They should all get extensive criminal checks both national and international which also should be public. We are voting/hiring them for their positions to run our country they need to take full responsibility for their present and pass actions. I realize that some countries would not share any criminal information but for every country that does to get it from them. Oh yeah, tax records from other countries also dating ten years back also.
