Reply #14: I'm against it because of that Kevin Costner movie... [View All]

with Sean Young where he's a military officer but really a Russian mole "Yuri". I know that sounds silly and paranoid - like something some nutty Bush supporter who imagines every Middle Eastern college student is a terrorist would think - but I still like the constitution the way it is - with US born citizens only eligable for the presidency.

No, I don't think Jennifer Granholm was secretly planted by the Canadians for an attempted takeover/Canadian coupe of the US, but I still don't like the ammendment.

It seems to me that being born in the US, for better or worse, would give one a more US centric perspective, and that this would mean the candidate, most likely, would be more attuned to the citizenry than a foreign born candidate.

The question should not be "Is it good for Candidate X?" The question should be: "Is this ammendment good for the American people?"
