Filling the gaps in my memories with wild delusions

I was reading somewhere that Congress was looking to pass a law that would allow non-natural born citizens to become President. What do you think? Could you look forward to a President Schwarzenegger??

And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

Allright I say yes, and I am not even American born lol. But I think that it should only be natural born citizens because it is their country, while others like me, were born on other countries, but well can't really explain my point that well lol >_< .. well hope you get what I mean though

Personally, I'm completely against having a non-natural born citizen taking the role of president. It's just not the way things should be, the people of America need to take charge for their own country and run it the way things need to be. I'm not saying a non-natural citizen couldn't run the country in a manner that would appeal to a majority or just to natural citizens in general, but I feel that it does need to be those natural born citizens in America that maintains the country.

Yep, after all most of the countries only hae president that were born in that country, and that's the way it should be. Otherwise what would be the point of being called USA?

I think we should because there is no such thing as a "natural-born" citizen. The only natural born citizens are Native Americans. This is a melting pot of races. I believe if they are in this country for most of their life they should be allowed to run for president. I don't see the harm in it.

What is the difference between allowing an immigrant or a kid born in the USA, who has immigrated parents, run for president? I don't see the problem. The kid usually inherits his/her parents' traits anyway. I could run for president, but I still have Spanish traits. Think about it.

I know most countries, if not all, only allow natural born citizens to be president/prime minister. However, United States has a variety of cultures. It inherited most of its traits from the immigrants who came here. That is what makes it distinct from other countries.

I say yes because it's about honor and pride and we shouldn't let someone who moved here 10 years ago suddenly become President. It's just not right.

That isn't much of an argument lol. No one is saying to allow people who have only been here for 10 years to be able to run for president. However, what if you were born here at one years old? What if you lived in this country for thirty years and want to be president?

People automatically assume that a President can do whatever he/she wants. That is totally false. That is why we have Checks and Balances and three branches of government. It would be quite impossible for a president to pass his or her negative values onto society.

I don't see the harm in it. A high percentage of this country is immigrated.

Well maybe something like that is okay but some guy who moved here 2 years ago can't be President of our entire country.
