What's next? naturalized citizens shouldn't be able to vote? Let's not go down that road.
Naturalized citizens cannot become president of the U.S. I dont see anyone complaining about that. They can also be deported under VERY specific situations (such as providing false information to the govt prior to becoming a citizen). This would just add one more thing to the list

That's because the constitution explicitly states that the President must be a natural born citizen.

What you're suggesting probably violates the equal protection clause, which is also included in the constitution.

The constitution also includes the 3/5ths compromise, either way the President must be a natural born citizen has not been challenged in court, and I suspect it will eventually be deemed unconstitutional.

3/5ths compromise, seriously? Which was superseded by the 14th amendment which includes all the good stuff about equal protection.

And the natural born citizen provision being ruled unconstitutional? You can't have something be unconstitutional if it's literally in the constitution. It's not some interpretation of an aspect in the constitution, it's literally in the constitution.

I swear... Some of you guys.

Your argument doesn't change the fact that you, an illegal, want to take away a citizen's right for your own benefit.

Either way it's not up to you or me for that matter.

Anybody knows what is the age gap to the proposals being discussed? Is it 16 or 18?

And what makes you think 14th amendment can't be used for becoming president? Like I said it hasn't been challenged in court.
