    Doesn’t need to change, we have those rules for a reason.

    Also, should see how he actually does as mayor before giving him too much credit. Plenty of other politicians have been flops or changed their tune once in office.

      What is the reason? Honest question.

      Like, obviously we can have restrictions. Basically Id say shift the age requirement to time as a citizen instead. But I really don’t see why a kid born in Uganda and moving to America at 7 years old (Like Mamdani) and running for president at 42 is really any different than a kid born in America and running for president at 35.

      I don’t know when he got his citizenship. But shift the age X years to whenever he got it.

      The plan of having a 35 year long sleeper agent living in America is fantasy. That’s significantly too much work when you can already buy our politicians right now and not wait 35 years. (APAIC comes to mind first)

      I feel like all Citizens should be able to run at some point. I really don’t care what patch of dirt you were born on.
