There are a numerous restrictions stated in the Constitution. Many of which are age related; you need to be 25 to serve in the House of Representatives, and 30 to serve in the Senate. You must be 35 years of age, or older to run for president. Some regulations in the Constitution state that a person must be a citizen of the United States of America for a certain number of years to serve in parts of U.S. government. For example, a person must be a citizen for 9 years to serve in the senate, and 7 years to serve in the House of Representatives. To run for presidency, you need to be a citizen for at least 14 years. Additionally, you also must be a natural citizen. In fact, "No where else in our Constitution drawn between those who are citizens at birth and those who become citizens via naturalizations." Some people believe this argument is reasonable. I believe it is unacceptable for many reasons. The United States' Constitution should be amended to allow naturalized citizens to be allowed to run for President of the United States (POTUS). A copious amount of amazing politicians are naturalized citizens, who's to say that they wouldn't make a good president. The reason the framers of the Constitution made this restriction, is no longer valid. America is most famous for being the land of the free. The U.S. promotes equality and equal rights for all. Having a restriction on running for presidency, based on a persons place of birth is the farthest from equal. This natural born requirement should be changed in the Constitution. This is, "Unfair to naturalized citizens, because they are denied an equal opportunity to run for president; and unfair to us voters, because we are denied every opportunity to choose our leaders."
