      I don’t believe that being a natural-born citizen adds any value to potential elected leaders in the modern era.

        I understand that you don’t think it is necessary, but I’m curious what your reasoning is, as to why?

          Because it’s not the 18th century any more, and people have access to various cultures across the planet.

          The idea that only someone born in your country knows it well enough to lead it is, frankly, stupid.
