Life would be so much simpler if we just passed a damn Amendment requiring that all federal offices required you to have been a US citizen prior to being 18 and not a felon and to renounce citizenship to any other country or state that said dual citizenship was in your opinion secondary too your loyalty to Uncle Sam.

Stupid fucking rule anyway, and every conversation about it is always stupid.

Proper Qualification for public office: Was legally elected by the plurality of the constituents.

If people want to elect someone who immigrated here when they were 17 and spent 3 years in jail for stealing a car but had their "Come to Jesus" moment (Jesus, incidentally, not eligible to be President) then let them fucking well elect him. Shit, if they can get half the voters to approve of them as Supreme Commander in spite of being an immigrant ex-con that's all I need.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
