Addendum; only citizens can run for office.

what about sentient machine rightfully and peacefully protesting for representation?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

When that starts I'll march with them. But as far as we know they don't exist yet so we don't need a law for them. We can't have laws for any and all hypothetical beings just in case they exist (That's why deities don't get to vote in elections)
The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Believing in God is strictly forbidden, violators will be shot. Vague spirituality of the "something greater than us is out there" type is even worse, and offenders will be tortured before they are shot.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
