Now is the time...
...I'm glad to see progress being made on amending the Constitution to allow foreign born citizens to run for office. The 20 year requirement is fine (I'd thought 15, but whatever), I'd add a requirement that any candidate must be solely a U.S. citizen for at least 5 years, then let's go.
This is the perfect time to pass an amendment. With everyone less than impressed with the current crop of jugheads wanting to run the country, imagine how happy Republicans could be if they'd add the Governator to the pool, or the Democrats to add MI Governor Jennifer Granholm? With both parties having popular, credible candidates, we need to pass this quick, before one of them gets caught running a meth lab out of the governor's mansion or something.
