I think so.
I mean like they are born in another country, and come here and are a US citizen for like 10 years. They should be able to run for president.
I might be okay, but it would have to be like 50 years, not 10.I mean like they are born in another country, and come here and are a US citizen for like 10 years. They should be able to run for president.
The current rules prevent a long-term mole being trained at an early age, immigrating to the US, and running for president late in life. Or in your scenario, within 10 years…
True.But the problem is that they are a long-term mole, not that they immigrated to the US. I'm not seeing the connection between the two.
True.
But it would make recruiting a long-term mole harder for a rival state, if they had to recruit a natural-born citizen.
Still, that's not the only reason.
A life-long citizen who has grown and lives in the USA is more likely to understand many aspects of the country than a recent immigrant - and we're asking them to lead the country.

You say that now - but I'm sure there is or at some point will be at least one out there charismatic enough and a good enough actor to pull it off.The American people would NEVER vote for a recent immigrant though.

If this individual is true Christian, true Patriot, true Conservative, true Republican ( not a RINO ), why not?

:shrug: I don't see how it's a problem, people won't elect someone who became a citizen yesterday anyway, and for the people suggesting a long term mole, it's just as equally likely they'll recruit a citizen. Our PM here was born in Wales, she's doing as expected, and, if trends continue, our next PM (current leader of the opposition) was born in England.
Just because yall do something dumb, doesn't mean have to. :lol:
What, are you a birther?Obama.
Wait for it. Wait for it....
The Founders of this country weren't stupid, they made the requirement for a reason. We have plenty of Americans to chose from, no need for foreigners.
You're so ignorant and xenophobic it hurts. If a Frenchman or a Brit could lead your country to greatness, why refuse out of sheer fear? If he's willing to become the leader, he's quite clearly an adoptive patriot of the US, and if people like him enough that the issue has come up on a national level, it must be that he's got some good ideas. Why let abject fear of the unknown get in the way? It's a very fundamentally stupid thing to do.
