I definitely think foreign born people should be permitted to run for president, provided that they have been United States citizens for a set amount of time. There are plenty of people with American born parents who just happened to be born out of the country and therefore could never run. I also know many many smart people who moved here with their parents when they were little and are great, intelligent citizens. (The validictorian and salutatorian of my high school class were both Indian born). I feel that being born on American soil in no way makes you a good candidate. It should only matter how LONG you've been an American citizen. Your birth place is totally out of your control!
