and void and of no effect until--
(1) the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service

President of the United States for the 3 most recent taxable
years, the President would not have benefited in any of such
taxable years if the provisions of this Act had been in

(2) the Commissioner makes publicly available the tax
returns on which such certification is based.

which must be made publicly available by the Commissioner of
