No law can do that; the Constitution specifies eligibility for representatives, senators, and presidents. Courts take that literally. In 2019, California did pass a law requiring presidential candidates to disclose 5 years of tax returns. That was more or less immediately and unanimously invalidated by the California state supreme court.
