"Natural Born" citizen - why the requirement for president

Ironically, we now have a President who clearly has divided loyalties, despite being a "natural born citizen".
If Putin did actually game the system in order to get Trump elected, he's having a serious case of "buyer's remorse" right about now.

On what is Russia's economy predicated?

By that, I mean, how does Russia get most of its hard currency for trade or to stockpile?

Well, Russia has pretty much all of its economic eggs in two baskets: energy and weapons. Russia exports, particularly to eastern Europle, massive amounts of natural gas and oil, and it has buyers for its various weapons systems all around the world.

Within his first 100 days in office, Trump has taken steps to dismantle the excessive regulations that Obama placed on energy production and export, making the United States a true world player when it comes to energy production and export.

With the result that the US directly competes with Russia for customers.

Within his first 100 days in office, Trump has vowed to increase the defense budget so that our troops will not suffer the shortages they did under Obama, and, further, he has promised to increase spending on research and development and modernization of our various weapons systems, meaning that we will have weaponry for export that is well-advanced from what Russia can offer.

With the result that the US directly competes with Russia for customers.

PS: you really ought to look into the Presidential candidate who really did have extensive business connections with Russia: Hillary Clinton.
"Uranium One" is an excellent place to begin your research, but it is by no means the only example of Hillary and hubby Bill pocketing huge bucks at the expense of US national security.

Wow. That's about all I can say about such hogwash. Especially the part about the defense budget. You should look at what the U.S. spends on defense compared to the rest of the world.

You should follow your own advice.

But please....refute the facts...or attempt to...if you'd like. That might prove fun.

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 ?
We've bent over backwards giving away this country to it seems everyone & every country, so indulge us when I say leave our Constitution alone. Try expressing those ideas in N. Korea.
