Yes, it is sometime appropriate to change or even get rid of a law. But laws are not meant to be changed, like you stated.

It is the place of the governement to enforce law not to change it.
Laws often need to be changed but that change should come from the people not the govt. If a government can change laws at will then it can do whatever it wants to citizens.
Originally posted by FacemanWell, what other countries allow non-natural-born citizens to become President/Prime Minister?
Should a person who was born outside the U.S. be able to become President?????? Im asking the question because America is a land built on immigrants, yet our Constitution ( does not allow) non-American born citizens to become President... Is this a form of citizen discrimination????
I didn't think so
Funny how TRUE americans( as in those who families go back more than 1000 years in the states) wont have a chance at being president.
AND I dont see why someone who wasn't born in the country cant be president /prime minsiter. If they are running for such a post then they have been there long enough to know what the country needs and want to help make it a better place. Location of their birth should have nothing to do with it.

Ever met a US voter? (or looked at US presidential history for that matter)
1. Qualified
2. Had the countries best interest at heart
Change is not always a bad idea, besides what makes the U.S. so great is the people, thats why the people rule not one President... I just think we should have more equality here in the U.S. If the nation can make an immigrant into a citizen, as in the case of ( Arnold Swchhhhhhhsssccinigggeerr) then why cant that person become President.

I didn't say they were incapable of being a succes as president or that change was bad. I just pointed out that EVERY president in the US has been a white man.

Oh you. Comparing me to a fictional detective.
And yes, equality in a nation founded on such a concept would be wonderful but it still isn't going to happen.
