@feel.good.america: The presidency already requires a natural-born citizen for a reason. Lawmakers, judges, and Senate-confirmed officers should meet the same test. Divided allegiance is not a thought experiment when some officials put another country first. Naturalized Americans can build lives, businesses, and families here. High office is a different standard. The Constitution already draws that line for the executive. Applying it more broadly is consistency. A nation that will not demand undivided loyalty from the people who write its laws will be governed by those who treat America as optional. That is the choice in front of voters.
