That does not negate the value of the age requirement.

Basing eligibility on one's parentage has no value and is un-American.

We value the individual and their values. We aren't a monarchy where your qualification to govern is based on the family you were born into.

"We value the individual and their values. We aren't a monarchy where your qualification to govern is based on the family you were born into."

And yet we do exclude "naturalized citizens" don't we? Does that keep you awake at night?

No, we are not a monarchy. We are a constitutional republic. The Constitution declares that only a "natural born citizen" is eligible. That excludes a lot of very worthy individuals. That is irrelevant.

Next you'll be telling me how unfair it is for California to have only two Senators for 30 million people.
