Akhil Reed Amar qouted “But those American citizens who happen to have been born abroad to non-American parents — and who later choose to become “naturalized” American citizens — are not the full legal equals of those of us born in the U.S. True, naturalized Americans have always been allowed to serve as cabinet secretaries, Supreme Court justices, senators and governors. And at the founding, anyone already a citizen could be president, regardless of birthplace. (Alexander Hamilton, for example, though born in the West Indies, was fully eligible to serve as president under the Constitution he himself helped draft.) But modern-day naturalized citizens are barred from the presidency simply because they were born in the wrong place to the wrong parents.” What this quote is trying to say is that if I was born in another country instead of the United States I cannot be the president of the United State it doesn’t matter if I become a citizens of the United State. I think they should change this law because I can know more about this country than someone who was born here. Also, I’m the same as any native citizen because I pay taxes, I go to school to learn how this country was constructed and I obey the laws. I think for me to be the president of the United State, I have to make smarter decisions to make the country run in a way that the population can benefit from it. Although the way that the United States have to consider people to be available to run for president they have to consider some years of living in the United States,  college degrease and married. The reason that I choose this quote was because I have a cousin who I think can be a president of the United States but he was not born here in the United States.
