Naturalized citizens have taken the proper steps to become Americans, and should be seen as such. I think that lordjeebus is right -- either be born in the US, or live here for 35 years, and you are eligible to run as POTUS. Originally, I would think that the intent of the law would be to stop rich foreigners from coming to a newly-formed America and buying up enough votes to control it. I don't think there is much possibility of that happening anymore, or that the President is as all-powerful, heh.
