[William Tell]

"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.

Yes, for President we do.

Does that keep you awake at night?

Nope.

True, but if you're born here you're eligible regardless of who your parents are (unless they're foreign diplomats or soldiers).
