Zack for President
I support Senator Hatch’s proposed resolution, not entirely for selfless reasons.
Hatch has introduced a resolution to amend the Constitution’s ban on non-American-born presidents by allowing people who have been U.S. citizens for at least 20 years to be elected to the White House.
The resolution text is here.
There is also a similar House resolution. That requires 35 years, which I don’t support for very selfish reasons.

It’s about time somebody moved to change this. Naturalized citizens, after all, are people who had a choice of where to live and chose the U.S. Born citizens got lucky.
I agree, it’s probably one of two things in his career Hatch has done that I would approve of.
Totally off topic—has Conrad Barwa resumed posting anywhere? I found his old site but where is he now?
James: He announced the closing of his blog a couple of months ago. He said at the time that he’ll be starting it at a new location later, but haven’t heard anything since then. I have seen him on lots of comment threads though, most frequently on Head Heeb.
