i look past the fact you didnt mention me as someone with credible input on the subject

im positive that the clause is a preventative measure in defense of their country from foreign invaders.

a "trojan horse" candidate if you will.

the founding fathers probably envisioned some british duke coming over, gaining citizenship, using his royal inheritance to win the americn presidecny campaigning under false pretense...and then turning over the country back o the british

now days we probabl imagine a chinese, muslim, argentenian, north korean.. etc

Last night, Arnold was on Leno. And Leno was asking him who he thinks will be the republican's candidate for presidency, and Arnold said something like "you're only saying this to torture me because you know I can't run since I'm not born here". Leno then asked him if they changed the law, who he run? and Arnold answered "Without a doubt!"

Tbombz, you are pretty correct. A foreign born citizen is thought to have allegiances to their birth country. Have you ever heard foreign born citizens complaining that "In their country..." or noticed that some Mexican born citizens are very nationalistic, they are not Americans, but still Mexicans.

Yes but there are too many checks and balances for anyone to do anything crazy. In addition, because religion seems to be the flavor of the month, it would be like Obama going in and putting in Muslims (since right wingers seem to believe he is) and doing damage that way... Point is the President could never really get out of control no matter who he or she is because there are tons of checks and balances. But yes that is what I believe also their original reasons were.

Now there is no reason to not let them run. At least let them have a chance.

I understand only a handful of people might be able to intellectually defend or agree and make valid arguments and these I wish to hear from.
So, 240, uberman, Wavelength, Unsung, guys like this that have half a brain? It doesn't matter if you are American or not. Pick a side and defend.

Guys like Chaos in the 80-95 IQ range please get someone to explain what I wrote.

Why do you wish to hear from people who are not even from this country?

If the requirement was repealed then i dont think there would be any problems in the near future with it.

but i do think thta over time, maybe hundreds, or even thousands of years (if life is still here on earth) from now there would be some instance of this occuring....

maybe a big country like the USA gets a "manchurian candidate" elected and he fucks things up pretty bad before they get a handle on things...

or maybe a big country like the USA systematically gets US born patriots into the presidency of every other coutry n the planet and then rules the world..or something similar

.....

whatever may by the event, i do think that history will/would eventually advocate this measure.. its valid

Because the limited intellect of the Americans on this board, I have to outsource to other countries for better talent...I'm sure you understand that being "Publican" and all.
It doesn't matter if they're American, can they not have an opinion because they're not American? Most of the greatest ideas and ideologies come from people NOT American.

You care to weigh on this or are you too xenophobic cause I let none Americans in?

I agree, naturalized citizens should be allowed to run for president, BUT only after they have lived in the USA x number of years to qualify for presidential election...

Ok "pal". Haha, don't insult my intelligence little man unless you know EXACTLY where I'm coming from. Fucking 19 years old, no job, doesn't pay taxes, depends on parents for survival yet you're an "expert" in everything. You don't even fucking vote (admittedly).
