It won't be hard to change this one but it will be interesting to see what FReepers think. Note. We are not supposed to link directly to this newspaper so I added one click.

I've never seen a poll where the vast majority opposed making this change. Of course, public opinion has absolutely nothing to do with our overall immigration policy as both parties routinely thumb their noses at public sentiment, so it would not surprise me at all if such an Amendment passed the Senate easily; the House would be trickier, but I could see it happening.
Fortunately, it would probably not survive the state process as public opinion would be harder to ignore for local, state legislators.

It's a bad idea. I know we can find examples of foreign-born politicians who certainly have the qualities necessary to do the job, but I think the restriction was put there for a reason. The reason, of course, dealt with the fear that a foreign-born individual may be influenced by the politics of their native land.

Hell NO!!!!!!!!!! There is a very good reason for not allowing foreigners to become president of the US.
We have a Canadian socialist for Governor in Michigan, and the Liberals are slivating over the prospect of getting her to run for the Office of President. This idiot socialist has raised every fee in our State and has raised our property taxes in violation of our State's Constitution.
We DO NOT need her in there as President. Again, I say HEEL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...
