I am afraid he might actually get powerful enough to do some damage. I hope he doesn't run for president!


Do you know how long it takes to amend the Constitution? Even if the requirement of native born were to be eliminated, which is so unlikely that IMO it is laughable to think it will happen in the next twenty years (though at the present rate within the next century the vast majority of US residents will be non-native born, and the then-Hispanic-majority Supreme Court will read the emanations of the Constitution to say that that the 14th amendment deleted that provision) -- even if, I say, it were to be amended to allow non-native born persons to run for President, AS will be long gone before it happens.

I suggest you save your worry time for things that could conceivably happen. There are plenty enough plausible scary things to worry about.
