Now, I am definetly not planning to run for president, but I have been doing some thinking. To be able to run for president, you must be born in america. But isnt america a country where everyone is equal? Isnt america the country that people go to because they wanted to be treated equally and fairly? Doesnt the US constitution promise equal rights, and chances to suceed to all citizens of the United States, no matter what color their skin is, what religion they practice, or what country they come from? So then why is this a requirement. I will use myself as an example. I moved from Russia to America when I was 2. I dont remember anything about it. So why cant I run? This is of course, hypothetically speaking.
