Presidents Should be Natural Born Citizens

My opponent's first point in their outline doesn't make sense as what they seem to be saying is that we should change the requirements, yet they are arguing that we shouldn't. This is contradictory, and therefore, I will not do a rebuttal against it this round. If they clarify in future rounds then I will respond to that point. For the second, third, fourth , and fifth points I would actually argue the opposite. I disagree that all we should do is consider the American needs as when we give foreign aid, we're not doing it to improve America. We're doing it to improve other countries. Therefore, I'd say it's actually a good thing. If a president, were born in another country, and that country did need aid; the president would be more likely to be sympathetic towards that country and put more of an effort towards that aid. With all of the countries out there it is fairly unlikely that this scenario would happen anyway. However, if it did, I'd say it's excellent because if a president was born in a country in need, this connects them more to the people and gives the President an extra desire to help that country. Overall, I'd say a President being born in another country is a good thing as it connects the President more to that country and gives them a further desire to give the foreign aid which is so essential. Secondly, I'm not arguing to remove this precaution. Someone from the U.S is just as likely to have compromised motives as someone from another country. Politicians make false promises anywhere, and the fact that they're from a different country doesn't make them any more or less likely to fulfil their promises. Having the people needing to be born in the U.S to make them President doesn't remove the threat that someone could become President with false promises. This could happen with any President from the U.S or any other country. Overall, my opponent's argument is false, as whether they were born in this country doesn't affect whether they will make real promises or not, and therefore, allowing people from other countries to be President doesn't remove this precaution at all. However, the fact that the person is running for President shows patriotism regardless of where they're from. The person probably wouldn't be running for President without being patriotic. The fact that the person is running for President shows that they are patriotic. Therefore, they'll be just as likely to be patriotic as someone born in the U.S. Overall, just the fact that the person is running for President shows that they obviously do love the U.S and are patriotic. Overall, there were many flaws in my opponent's argument. People from other countries could do just as good a job if not better than people in the U.S. Even if they considered their own country into account when making decisions, that's good because that's the country we're actually helping and doing this for to help improve that country. Also, having a President be born in a different country could add some diversity and different viewpoints which is a good thing for this nation. Overall, allowing people from other countries to be President is a good idea which I think would benefit the U.S greatly. Once again I am sorry about forfeiting the last round. This is the argument that I would've posted the last round, and I hope we can still have a good debate.
