Some day, you too could become President!

5. I have only a vague understanding of what that means.

That you were born outside the Country? I know it's the reason the Governator (Arnold) couldn't run for President, even though a number of republicans wanted him to.

The Governator notwithstanding, I some times wonder if we lose out on great potential by excluding naturalized citizens. There is no real reason that someone who was not born here should not be able to run for President. At least, no convincing reason that I can think of. A naturalized citizen is still a citizen... and should, by that very definition, be entitled to the same rights as everyone else. I wonder how many intelligent, talented people of real potential have been passed over for simple reasons of the origin of their birth. It strikes me as rather ridiculous.

How idiots like Limbaugh would howl if one day a real immigrant from, say, Mexico, had the opportunity to run for President.
