I don't think that is a bad thing. If immigrants sailed over here last week and decide to run for Presidency, that would be insane.... but hands on experience speaks volumes. If someone is born in another country, like many of our grandparents and great grandparents, come here at an early age, become citizens, educated on American culture and can do the job efficiently... why not? America is an enormous melting pot of every culture in the world to begin with, I don't believe presidential job effiencency should be limited by your birth location.

I believe the laws should be changed to allow candidates to run, regardless of their birth location. However, I believe there should be a clause in the law, that you must meet certain other requirements, like X amount of years (20+) as a citizen, X amount of time in American schools etc etc.
