"I would NEVER vote for an amendment to allow a foreign born to be President. If we let one, we'll have to let all."

We, as well as Congress, are not needed to vote one into law.

The state legislatures are the ones who would have to do this.

I misstated my intent. I meant to say I would never vote for a foreign born candidate for President, nor would I want an amendment to the Constitution to pass that would allow one to be a candidate.

It does, in fact, require just that.

Currently there are bills circulating in the House and the Senate to do just that. One by, the overrated, Orin Hatch(et)

:O)
