Well, it's still a little early but I'm already surprised at the number of people on this forum who reject this amendment. What I don't understand is why? Naturalized citizens aren't real Americans? They're second class citizens? They can't possibly do a good job or love their country? Remember, we're talking about the US of A. In a way, you're all immagrants! How about this, lets make it so only Native Americans can run for President! That makes more sense than your current law...
And lets look at it the other way. It's not like you don't have any home grown unpatriotic nuts, right? I'm pretty sure the US has more homicidal nuts per capita than any other country in the world!
Besides, it's not as if anyone can just come into your coutry and take it over with this amendment. At the very least, you have to vote him in! Secondly, the president only has so much power, he can't just do anything he likes. Thirdly, you have a way (I'm sure) to oust a totally incompetent, or malevolent, president.
So, where does all your xenophobia come from?
