"You argued that a foreign-born President might have conflicting loyalties. Is not the same true of Catholics, Jews, Hispanics, and dozens of other subgroups? Do you want to bar all of them from the Presidency, too?"
Pretty dang hard to say someone has loyalty to a foreign homeland when they're born in America.
"y what? My side? What side is that? I don't recall calling anybody bigoted... and I'm pretty sure we're all on the same side."
If you're wanting to outsource the Presidency, we're on way opposite sides.

Pretty dang hard to say someone has loyalty to a foreign homeland when they're born in America.Pretty dang hard to say someone has loyalty to a foreign homeland when he moved here as a baby, too. And pretty dang insulting to say someone has loyalty to a foreign homeland when he voluntarily chose to leave that homeland and become an American citizen.
Let us not forget that if this Amendment passed, it wouldn't mean that Soros or Schwarzenegger could just waltz into the White House and put his feet up on the Oval Office desk. We have this thing called an election, you know. I'm sure that a foreign-born candidate's native land would be a campaign issue, and I trust the voters to judge where his loyalties lie.
