OK, I agree but what if there were a rule that stated the candidate had to have been a citizen for at least 20 years?Clete said:No, the founders got this one right. Anyone can become a citizen, anyone. Doing things the way you guys suggest would allow a much greater chance of a "mole" from an enemy nation to end up becoming the president and causing incredible damage from the inside. I think leaving this filter in place is a good thing.

You could get a mole for president from a native citizen just as easily as you could a immigrant, look at Bill Clinton! :shocked:
