“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;”
There is only one exception such as in John McCain's (Born in Panama, his father was an Admiral in the U.S. Navy) ... "They based this clause on the following; “Congress, in which a number of Framers sat, provided in the Naturalization act of 1790 that ’‘the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, . . . shall be considered as natural born citizens. . . .’’ 96 This phrasing followed the literal terms of British statutes, beginning in 1350, under which persons born abroad, whose parents were both British subjects, would enjoy the same rights of inheritance as those born in England; beginning with laws in 1709 and 1731, these statutes expressly provided that such persons were natural-born subjects of the crown.”
My feeling is that if we give people the option to be American Citizens, we should give them all the rights. Give me one valid reason they shouldn't have the right to be? There are millions of foreign born citizens there are worth more than the natural born pieces of shite we have here. I say let the people vote on it. Give them a chance and of the people say no, then let it be.
This country was built with the hands of immigrants and I find there to be no valid reason today that foreign born citizens should not be able to hold the highest office of this great land.
