I think it's assumed that a natural-born citizen is less likely to have a hidden agenda favoring a different nation. Or looking at it from the other side, more likely to have a vested interest in the good of the nation.
- forty 5y agoThat's a pretty poor assumption. In practice people that choose to become citizen of a country are often prouder and more worthy of it than people who just happened to be born there.
- CWuestefeld 5y agoYes, I'm married to one such. Let me ask you: would you go even a step farther? Should we allow non-citizens to hold the office? If not, why not?
- forty 5y agoWell each country have their own rules and traditions to decide who can be citizens or not, which give them the rights and duties that come with citizenship, I think it's fine. What bothers me with this law is that it depends on how they became citizen, making them half citizens or citizens on probation, something like that. And I'm sure they don't have half citizen duties.
