I think it points more towards the autonomy of the States. For many things, the States can do as they wish. The US born requirement for our President was part of our founding Constitution. Another part of that Constitution delegates a great deal of self-rule to the individual States. As they became States they were able to decide that issue for themselves. Even now if a State wanted to require you to be US born to be a governor they certainly could pass a State Constitutional amendment to do so.
-----Original Message----- From: Miguel Gonzalez [mailto:[email protected]] It's quite curious that you can be a governor of a State not being born in the US but you can't elect that person as US president. This states clear that there are first and second class US passports.
