        I don't think they'd make a movie out of it till it actually happened though - Beaker May 30, 09:49 1
        
        Not really. It's hilarious politically, except it's supposed to be a drama. -- nm - Reagen May 30, 09:53
  - I still want a person to have been born here. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 09:45 15

      - This sounds fair. -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 10:02
      - [deleted]

      - I believe America should be run by an American not a foreign born citizen. - Krusty May 30, 09:56 1
        
        Completely understandable - though that's different from "born here". -- nm - Roger More May 30, 10:05
    - why? How does that make someone a better citizen or president? Dumb luck vs actually choosing and making the effort. -- nm - Don Homer May 30, 09:46 1
      - "Perceived conflict of interest" has a lot of interpretations and tends to be somewhat over-applied -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 09:58
    - Why do you hate Obama??? -- nm - David May 30, 09:46
    - [deleted] 5
      - Sure but military families overseas isn't the same thing as a foreign born person. - Krusty May 30, 09:52 4
        
        There are all sorts of circumstances that could mean otherwise qualified people wouldn't pass though. - Roger More May 30, 09:58
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Yes. I don't care where you were born as long you were an American by birth. -- nm - Krusty May 30, 09:59 1
        
        pretty sure the law says the opposite of that right now - it cares where you were born, and doesn't care whether your parents were foreign. - Beryllium May 30, 10:01
  - sure, if you want President Schwarzenegger to deliver you back under the Austrian boot heel. -- nm - Reagen May 30, 09:39 2

- Good idea. I mean, you guys came this close to having a Panamanian-born president. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 09:32
- wow. - znufrii May 30, 09:32 4
  - This would all be moot if we didn't have the silly "natural born" requirement. -- nm - Don Homer May 30, 09:38 3
    - or if we didn't have silly politicians insisting that their factually incorrect views are just as reasonable and a matter of "debate" - znufrii May 30, 09:43 2
      - well, that too. Or a national media that played along for so long, trying to appear neutral -to a fault. -- nm - Don Homer May 30, 09:44 1
        
        oh, certainly. -- nm - znufrii May 30, 09:45

- [deleted] 13
  - I don't see why it would be any harder on a per capita basis - Reagen May 30, 09:19 12
    - [deleted] 11

        ahh cool (but I'd bet most here do though as it comes with the potential for Govt money - Old Age Pension, GST rebate, Child Rebates, RRSP room, etc) -- nm - Beaker May 30, 09:51
        
        If the rolls are put together by the states, they might not have access to federal tax return data. Not every state has its own income tax either, and - Roger More May 30, 09:27
