We have enough problems as it is. Foreign born supremacy is better?

The reason it’s there was basically to prevent a foreign monarchy from coming in and taking over since they had far more money than early Americans. I think the same rings true today, although Meacham believes times have changed.

No. Being against natural born supremacy doesn’t mean being for foreign born supremacy. People should be judged on their character and not on something as feeble as where they were born. And yes, times have changed and there is no longer a credible threat of foreign monarchies. Eventually it will change but not in my lifetime. Perhaps it will take 100 years.
