Should we change the Constitution so that foreign-born citizens can become president?

Answer 1

Hell no.

Answer 2

Yes people forget that when George Washington was elected the first US President he was technically born from Virginia and was considered a country since they had their own money. Being born in the US does not guarantee they have the best interest for all people and support the wealthy class.

Ordinary US citizens have no say so and that is why many do not vote. The reasons of why people do not vote are ignored because those that tell the truth are labeled as Suberversionist or Revisionist and fifth columnist attempting to destabilize the USA.

Do you remember the Alien and Sedition Acts to silence critics?

The US declared independence in 1776 so Andrew Jackson was technically the last born non-US born president as he was born in 1767.

The first "US" born president was Martin Van Buren born in 1782

Answer 3

No. The founding fathers wrote the Constitution like it is to guarantee the rights of American citizens against a tyrant like King George III was. By not allowing a foreigner to become president, it kept another nation from putting a stooge in power of our government. If a foreign nation ever was to get someone into the president's office, it could mean real trouble for American freedoms, freedoms which were bought at the cost of patriot's lives. The whole point of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 was to keep our freedom from foreign powers who would destroy our nation. After having Americans fight and die to preserve this country, should we give it away to another country?

Answer 4

the two themes are do no longer correlate and the assessment is absurd and irrational. One deals with the condition of ones natal arrival (thus, geographical area) and the different deals with a behavioral trait. Sexual selection isn't a call for (one way or the different) with a view to be the President of usa. neither is race, faith (or lack thereof), colour, social place or intercourse. Being born in this us of a is a qualification and if one does not meet that qualification, one isn't eligible. that isn't discrimination. And homosexuals at the instant are not being discriminated against. they have the comparable actual to marry somebody of the different intercourse as I do. And what does the word "irregardless" propose?

Answer 5

I assume that you are talking about Arnold From Calefornea. Everything can be debated in a democracy. Write the law and submit it,

I wouldn't support it at this time but if it's well crafted like the Constitution, remember the Volstead Act? not like that, I'd read it.

Answer 6

Yes because with if the president you select is not foreign and he don't know jack about being a good president but with if that foreign person know just about everything like for example: he know how to handle the people he never create war with all kinds of state and he keep the whole every state clean, their with be no trash thrown into the water or on the street, so do you see what I mean.☼

Answer 7

That has already happened. Shrub, Sr. served as President, and he's NOT American--he was born in Germany and his REAL last name is Scherff.

Answer 8

Nope. Look what happened in Germany in the '30s. An Austrian-born citizen was elected and ended up imposing Naziism on the country and the genocide of a people.

Answer 9

and have Pedro Sanchez running for president?

no way

thomas jefferson had a reason for sticking that into the constitution

Answer 10

Ask Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Answer 11

Definitely not. In such a time of politcal as well as world unrest, it would be an ill advised suggestion. We must change, the landscape of American, as well as World politics, before such a request can even be considered.
