Should you have to be born in America to be a candidate?
Many people in America want to be their next leader, but should you have to come from America to partiscipate in the candidates?
Yes, you should have to come from America to participate in it.
Yes, you do have to come from America to become a candidate because if you have the idea how the country is run then you know how you can help. You wouldn’t know this however if you were born in a different country as the education, business and rules would be run differently. The rule is there as the country runs different from others and won’t like being turned into a sister country where the rules came from. If this rule does take place, people from all round the world will come in America to settle in it.
No, you can come from all round the world to be a candidate.
No, you can come from all round the world to participate in it as if people come from a different country they can get a idea for what the rules could be changed. If candidates come from different countries, people would begin to adapt to the new rules and learn how other countries deal with the activities. This would be a good idea as many people disagree or compare to other countries so if people had a good idea that this was a good way to live they could bring it to America. And that poor countries may look up to who came from them and is in the running for president.
My Opinion.
This is a hard decision as both seem unfair in different ways, but I think it is fine that people can come from different countries as they are still human and who knows that they might good ideas on their own. This is fair as it is fine for people of race, sex or nationality to come together, so why not attempt to run for it a well? My final reason is that if America begins that rule but then doesn’t like it, then go back to the original rule!

I'm confused by this.
Can you tell us why, tranquil_history?
It says you have to be born in the U.S.A but then it says it doesn't. I am confused
This person is giving reasons on both side of the argument for why you should and shouldn't have to be born in the USA to be president, therefore it's an opinion piece (in actual fact, you do have to be born in the USA to run for president).
Ah ok,

I think that you should be able to participate even if you come from another country.
Can you give a reason for your point of view?

You also have to live in it for 14 years at least and you have to be quite wealthy. Trump hasn't payed his taxes in the 10 out of 15

And I disagree with that you have to live there because you might have different opinions for different reasons

I think they should at least say you must live in America for eight years

It said that you need to be in the U.S.A but I think it should not matter where you come from evern in a different country
Can you explain why?

Thanks for this post, storytelling_king
I believe that, yes, you should have to be born in America to be a candidate to run for president. I think this because although in this generation we attempt to keep peace throughout the world, if one thing goes wrong between two or more countries, their is a high chance that havoc will start between them. America obviously can’t be at war with itself, but it may be in an argument with another country. If someone was a candidate to run for president from a country in an argument with America, it might be a trick. They might become voted for President, and then even more havoc would start.
On the other hand, not every human being is as bad as I just described. But I do still think that America just doesn’t want to take any risks. America is a huge place, so big that it’s actually a continent, so that’s a lot of power to be in charge of a place that big. America obviously doesn’t want to risk all of their land to be ruined by a President from another country that they are in an argument with. We wouldn’t want to risk that, so neither would they.

I think that either you have to be born in America or maybe your parents have to come from America

I don't really think it's fair that you have to be born is America to be a candidate because you might want to teach other country's about ur believes, but you might get lots of hate like trump has over the years,So you have to come prepared to lose the voting for the elections, Or get loads of hate from you're ways but be brave and don't listen do people hate on you (stay strong and brave)

My honest opinion is that you do have to be born and raised in America to run for president. My reasoning behind this is because by then, you would understand all of the problems that need to be untangled and you have been there your whole life to know all the details of your own country. You will also know all the obstacles and issues that your country will face in the long run.

I think if you move to the country and have lived their over a year then I think you should be able to be a canidate
Can you explain why this would be a good thing?

I think to be president in America you should be born there because you know around your country more and you know what is right and what should be done ✅ right in your country.
People might listen to you more and understand what your saying because you did this beffore you learnt it like everybody else.so this is my reason why

Good job!
14 Oct 2020
I think you should for a few years because you need to know the rules
14 Oct 2020
also for eg[ you lived in the philippines and you live there for 3 years] then it would be fine
20 Oct 2020
I think that you should be born in America to be a candidate.

yes i think you should be born in America to be an candidate because you know more about your country and more rules and gain more respect and you would know the presidents better here is an example imagine you was from a different country and u just arrived to USA and the election started and then u didn't know any rules then u made a mistake then u can't vote or maybe your to young to vote and u was so close to your birthday then u could vote so it is fair

NO I don't think you should be an American to become a Candidate because other people around the world can come to America and learn the necessary things that need to be learnt and can then go for being president, so you don't need to be an American to be become a Candidate
