They are rational and reasonable as they are. Our constitution is the most rational, reasonable. and long lasting of any such document in the history of the world.Messing with it to try to get an unqualified person qualified For the presidency is an example of political infamy. Hands off that which has worked well for over 200 years. CRUZ is NOT eligible under the original intentions of the constitution.
The mere fact that there is such a raging argument over such thin, ambiguous matters is proof positive that the standards are neither rational nor reasonable. The standards should be clear enough that we never have to have this argument again. It’s wasteful and detracts from the serious discussions of substantive issues we should be having instead.
And this goes far beyond Cruz, who would in any event get no benefit out of a properly done amendment to the Constitution. It goes to fixing this problem so we never have to deal with it again in future.
