Equal Opportunity to Govern
I agree that naturalized citizens should be elegible for things such as governors, senators, statesmen/women, but I don't think they should be elegible to be president. When I picture the President of the United States, I picture someone who was born in the United States and knows what it is like to grow up as an American family. Although it may sound shallow, I believe that our president should be born inour country. That would be like me being able to be the President of Spain. I think having other responisblilties in the country as a naturalized citizen would be an honor, and being president would be even more of an honor, but I do not think that they should have the opportunity.

This is a really good point you make about growing up in America. Having a president that grew up in America would definitely be able to embody the aspects of an American better than someone who grew up elsewhere. I didn't think of that.
