There are 3 presidential requirements that determine if you are eligible to run for president; attaining 35 years of age, having a 14-year residency in the U.S, and being a "natural-born" citizen. Two of the requirements can be met after time; age and residency. However, the natural-born requirement can't be met over time. Either you are a natural-born citizen, or you aren't. There's no changing that.

If you are "natural-born," you were born on U.S soil. However, the exact definition of "natural-born" has never been ruled upon by the Supreme Court. So, there isn't an exact meaning to it. But basically, if you were born outside of the U.S, you aren't eligible to run for President. That concept discriminates against many Americans; 14% of them to be exact. What difference does it make if you weren't born in the U.S? There are tons of people born outside the U.S who love America and want to make a difference (like run for President). But their birthplace stops them from doing that. Why should we take an opportunity away that allows them to serve our country?

All in all, we want to strike down the natural-born citizen clause from being a qualification to run for President. It was added as soon as our country was founded, which makes it very outdated. There are many people in America who are immigrants, which doesn't make the requirement necessary. Instead, the requirement can be changed to having U.S citizenship for a certain period of time (since anyone can become a citizen). 

This petition can show government officials that many people want this requirement to be changed. The natural-born qualification is unfair, and should definitely be changed. Every signature counts. Thank you!
