Imagine some Chi Com Russian spy getting his green card then getting naturalized them becoming president.You must mean like Clinton who spent his Nam time in Moscow. Chi Com spy would have to be Kerry.

I'll let history speak for me.
What happened the last time an Austrian was made leader of a foreign country?
Or a Corsican?

An Iranian Woman can fly into Detroit on a visitors Visa, Drop child, he becomes a citizen, she goes back to Iran for 35 years. That Kid is eligable to become president. Someone who came to this country willingly, spent his life here and becomes a citizen isn't. There's something very wrong with that picture.Good point. But, you have to think the kid will either have assimilated as he grows up and becomes (what is it) 40 years old. Either that or he will be so extreme that he can not be elected. There is a pretty good vetting process through the political parties.

I think this point isn't a big enough deal yet. There is a concerted effort to get mooslims born in the USA. I believe that the long term effort is to get a Muslim president that will enact Sharia.
Don't discount it.

NO Thanks...
We'd just play into the hands of some nut-cake like Soros or worse in 5-10-15 years... The founding FATHERS (note my non-PC ref) knew what they were doing...

To: mabelkitty
other than xenophobia, I really can't see why a foreign-born citizen can't be elected prez....Arnold is the governor of the largest and most populous state in the Union, but it's a "hell no" for president?
we've had many presidents that are first generation naturalized, what's the difference between them and somebody who came to the US at age 18 months?

I love Arnold. He's neat. He's cool. He's good and will do great things for California. Like, in less than a year in office, pushing through $10 billion dollars in tax increases? Oops, I mean "bond measures"; mustn't drop the fig leaf.

Yes. Bestowing citizenship based merely on the physical location of birth rather than the status of the parents is the problem.
