The "Equal Oppurtunity to Govern" Amendment
Most American's are aware of the fact that you need to be a "natural born citizen" to run for president. In today's day and age this rule is very controversial, and everybody has their own opinion... I personally don't agree with the natural-born citizen clause. I understand it's purpose, but it just seems bit hypocritical. I mean, one of the underlying foundations of America is the fact that it's a melting pot. People are allowed to come here from all different ethnicities, and I believe that same mentality should be included when deciding who can run for president. It is for this reason that I agree with the natural-born citizen clause being discriminatory. It doesn't really matter to me where you're from. If you live in America, respect America, and have the skills to lead America, why shouldn't you be allowed to run for president? It makes sense to me...

BINGO! I feel the same way...until I become suspicious that some might be biased towards thier ethnicity. However...aren't we being that by saying that only natural born Americans can be president? Gah! You've got me thinking!!
