    I think it should change since a person's country of origin has nothing to do with their competency as a political leader.

    Is this another stupid anti-Obama question? The ******* who bitched "Respect the presidency!" when Bush was there are the same morons disrespecting the presidency now. How unsurprising.

    As for foreigners leading another country, are you talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger? He's been proven more fiscally incompetent than Bush. Why would you want him?

    Speaking of Austrians, Adolf Hitler was Austrian, not German.

    regardless of what you think, since it would take an amendment to the constitution, and as how hard they are to peddle these days, it will never change, so the birthers need to find something else to be disappointed with.

    Actually, it's in the US Constitution.

    The argument for it staying the same is that we would want a president who shares American cultural values and has had an experience in his life of growing up American so he can better understand what kind of leadership Americans would need and want.

    The argument for changing the US Constitution would be that there is no more American culture anymore due to huge amounts of illegal, NWO sponsored, immigration so we might as well cave in and change the US Constitution. Furthermore, the Constitution is dying anyway because the Patriot Act killed it and most kids growing up in America today know lnothing about the Constitution or the Bill of RIghts.....the American dream has died. So why not just change everything?

    It can't change. Foreigners cannot be President. Mexico is not America. It would destroy national identity. American pride is racist? I thought America was a diverse society. This further rewards illegals and make immigration law a joke. We cannot survive being a nation of lawlessness. We cannot survive without immigrants and social groups assimilating for unity of American society. You cannot embrace diversity, difference, and equality, sameness, at the same time. They are counter intuitive. We cannot survive as nation with factions. Gay americans, lesbian americans, african americans, eurpoean americans, hisanic americans, asian americans, etc . . .

    This is not an altogether true question, the Constitution of the US states that they President must be a Natural Born Citizen, which could mean that they were born in another country as John McCain was, but their citizenship was legal because of other circumstances, namely he was born on a Military base to two American Citizens.
