(US) Constitutional Ammendment?

[azraelle]

Just curious, how many of American forum members would favor an ammendment removing the constitutional prohibition against a naturalized citizen from being President?

Not me , although you usually find immigrants are very patriotic and looking at the wretched neocons whose loyalty is to a certain little country in the midlde east being born here does not automatically make you a loyal American .Still it removes a issue that could be very emotional and harmful in elections . Also letting someone born elsewhere be president wud play int the hands of the disgusting multiculturists who have a campaiign going to destroy the idea of American identity and turn us into a bunch of competing tribes based on language ( there are intense efforte to have spainish be equal to english ) race, religion , where you came from , and even sex .

I'm opposed to it due to the major national security risks posed. However if enough Americans thought strongly enough about it, there's an amendment process.

I dont think many countries would do this....Germany tried it once and look what happend? Although A Hilter, a Austrian, was a German citizen, he gained it thru immigration, not by birth.

Basically, Arnold The Governator will not have a chance to become President.

Never will happen .Although the civilian people at the Defense Department who got us in the war with iraq prove you can work for a foreign country that rhymes with smisreal and get America in wars ...............
