There has been media discussion about what defines the "natural born" citizen constitutional requirement for presidential candidates.
Some constitutional scholars believe a candidate must be born in US, some say one (or more) parents must be born in US (ala Ted Cruz) some say candidate, both parents, etc. - SCOTUS might need to decide.
I say why the requirement ?
Other than the constitution requirement, what is inherent in whatever "Natural Born" means that makes a candidate more qualified to run for president ?
The constitution should be amended to make every citizen able to vote to be allowed to run for president.
Maybe we would get better candidates.
What do you think ?
