This.
Let me re-phrase the question.
Should American Citizens be have a discriminatory ban from a public office in place based on their country of origin?
How about banning anyone born in the USA? Foreign-born only?
Would such a thing be constitutional if we just threw it in there and reversed this? Would it be conscionable?
So what if you are the majority? Isn't that kind of the point?
We can't let American-Born people be president. Without foreign influence, the country would surely devolve into an isolationist clusterfuck run by insular know-nothings.
See?
You can easily just make up a bullshit fearmongery reason to deny people their rights based on demographic status.
But it doesn't make it a good thing to do.
