The Issue
To become a president or vice president, one must be a natural-born citizen.
Congress (House and Senate): Naturalized citizens are currently allowed, provided they meet the citizenship requirements. The U.S. Constitution requires constitutional amendments, not just ordinary laws, to change the Constitution.
We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, respectfully urge Congress to propose a constitutional amendment requiring that all candidates for all elected office must be U.S.-born citizens from birth and state what party they are running for. We believe this amendment is essential to preserving our nation’s unity and security, and we call for its immediate enactment upon ratification.
A strong sense of national loyalty and trust in our country’s ability to protect its cultural heritage are vital to ensuring a unified nation. These qualities empower citizens, fostering a profound connection to the country’s identity and future. When our leaders are U.S.-born citizens, their commitment to our nation’s core values is unquestioned, strengthening the legitimacy of their decisions on matters of security, laws, and foreign policy. This shared foundation promotes stability, unity, and prevents the complexities that arise from divided loyalties.
As citizens, we all wish to see our nation represented by leaders who truly embody its values, heritage, and future aspirations. Allowing individuals who are not U.S.-born citizens to hold office can undermine confidence in our government and raise genuine concerns about divided loyalties. By closing this loophole, we can restore faith in our institutions and ensure that our representatives are unwaveringly committed to the United States.
By holding all elected offices to the same high standards as the presidency, we can enhance the coherence of our government and ensure every national leader shares an unwavering commitment to our country. This consistency will strengthen public trust, promote stability, and pave the way for a more unified nation.
Requiring U.S.-born citizenship for elected office guarantees that our leaders represent the heart, values, and aspirations of our nation. Such leaders will guide the United States with deep understanding, loyalty, and dedication to its prosperous future.
Let us come together and urge Congress to propose a constitutional amendment mandating U.S.-born citizenship for all elected offices. This vital change will safeguard our nation’s governance for generations, strengthen our unity, and protect our future. Add your signature to this petition and help secure a stronger, more cohesive United States.
