Did I see this coming or did I see this coming: Advocates push to eliminate 'American-born' requirement Jul. 24, 2000 \| 7:09 p.m. By JESSE J. HOLLAND Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Claiming the Constitution makes them second-class citizens, foreign-born Americans and their advocates urged a congressional subcommittee to allow them to run for president after being U.S. citizens for 20 years instead of banning them completely. ``Otherwise, millions of naturalized Americans will continue to be victims of discrimination,'' said Raimundo Delgado, a teacher from New Bedford, Mass., who became an American citizen after leaving Sao Miguel in the Azores. ``All naturalized Americans should have full civil rights under the law.'' The Constitution requires presidential candidates to be ``natural-born.'' Naturalized Americans are disqualified from the nation's highest office. postnet.com
