I can't believe this thing would ever pass. Just too hard to pass a constitutional amendment, and there's no groundswell of support.

No never, will I support any change in our Constitution to allow foreign-born individuals to be our President.

Can you just imagine for a moment a Saddam or a binLaden type run for the position and be ELECTED?

I'm having a hard time deciding on which side to come down on this one. Part of me feels like we shouldn't mess with the Constitution, but that goes out the window when we all talk about same-sex marriages. The other part of me feels like if someone has been a citizen for over 20-25 years, then he/she has earned the right to at least pursue the Presidency.

There is a point, though: a child born to US citizens while they are stationed abroad (military personnel, or diplomats, for example) is a "born citizen, who happens to be foreign-born", and does not need naturalization. There is no reason to exclude such people, and no amendment for them would be needed, just an authoritative clarification of the original text.
