I don't want the Constitution changed, and I don't want ANY Muslim Presidents. Islamification of all Western- and ESPECIALLY this- country is the ultimate goal of Islam, make no mistake about that. This is one woman who will never wear a burkha, or bow to Mecca.

None of us wants a muslim president, but there are many (long since naturalized) foreigners who could contribute greatly to our cause. Who would mind seeing, for example, an idealistic Cuban exile with the guts to sweep out terriorists and communists alike? I fear that too many Americans have turned lukewarm and liberal. Perhaps the future is at our shores.

Alright, I have heard a lot on this forum that just made me want to throttle some people. Not every person of foreign birth is disloyal to the country or beholden to a foreign power. We have plenty of traitors born in the US and plenty of terrible politicans who are native born. This admendment does not force anyone to vote for someone of foreign birth. If someone's loyalties are that suspicious than I would hope that they never win the nomination, at least the GOP would never nominate them, and there is always the option of not voting for them. I came to this country as an immigrant with my parents at the age of 4. I grew up in the US and consider myself a full American. Yet I and many others do not have a privelege granted to all other Americans of native birth and this makes us offically second class citizens. And many of our founding fathers were suspicious of this clause. Thomas Jefferson wanted it struck down so that his Treasury Secretary Albert Gallatin could run. One of the schools in my college is named Gallatin fyi. I support a version of this admendment because it is fair and arguments that it endangers the national security of the nation are incredibly xenophobic. In my opinion a person who is naturalized should be able to qualify for the presidency 35 years AFTER they are naturalized since 35 is the minimum age of someone who wants to run and is native born. The 15 year residency should obviously be kept. That being said those of you who disagree with me need not worry. This admendment will probably not pass. Oh and if what is this about the Constitution should not be changed. Did we not change it 27 times at last count?
