I don't have aspirations for the Presidency, though I might run for some kind of office one day. I think it causes some small degree of harm to the overall picture of America though. You are proudly a country of immigrants, you allow people (like myself) to come live here, and to become a citizen of the country, to pledge allegiance to it. Yet although naturalized citizens have the same rights as natural born citizens, and are treated the same in almost every other aspect of life, being able to run for President or Vice President of the country that they pledged allegiance to is forbidden.

It just seems strange to me, and I guess somewhat unfair, especially when it's not the norm around the world.
