I don't think so. We already have thousands of qualified natural-born Americans to choose from in any given election and generation that will never get the opportunity to hold elective office. Just check out the primaries. Not a good reason to change the constitution for such a frivolous reason. Why needlessly worry ourselves with foreign-born candidates who might have different loyalties and agendas.
We are having enough problems with the loyalties of our own.

Not a chance. This is a perfect case for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

WHO fits this bill? Citizen for 35 years and resident in the US for 14 years?
in the meantime, they would change the "citizenship" definition to fit who they are looking at.
