I agree...although, you know the Founding Fathers put the native born thing in there specifically to keep Alexander Hamilton out (who was born in the West Indies)...

But let me ask you: How long do you think immigrants should be made to wait befor they can run for the presidency? 20? 30? 50? When you take the oath of citizenship, shouldn't it afford you ALL of the things being American can bring?

Right now, I'm not convinced the Constitution should EVER be changed. So I cannot answer your question directly.

Arnie is far too moderate (Lib) to suit my taste. I don't care what he looks like with his shirt off.

I am quite tired of being told how we need to move to the center with our Party. I think the events of the last 48 hrs are living proof that it 'taint necessasarily so.

No, it should not afford you all things a native-born American receives. Sorry. We must have it in there to do our best to insure there are no "sleepers." If a person changes his allegiance once, there is a good possibility he will do it again.
