Remove the qualifications for president

I thank you for your challenge and I graciously accept. The topic of this debate is intriguing and I have found myself pondering the issue as to why we have restrictions on who can be president of the United States. I have come to the final conclusion that it is best that we have these restrictions for a multitude of reasons. First, the topic clearly states to remove the qualifications for the office of presidency. For this I have two responses. There must be limits on any area of governance or all structures of that area will be thrown into chaos. The reason being is because we already find loopholes in our government and hypothetically, under the topic, we could have a president who doesn't even speak English to become president because that person has only lived in the United States for less that one year. My second response is that there are plenty of other positions that a foreigner can take without reprisal. In all honesty, the situation you have set up would lead to parallel situations such that an Asian person by decent could become president of the Black Student Union at a school when that person is not affiliated with black heritage. I use this example because we have an after school club that has taken on that name. Second, the populace of America would not be ready and would not except somebody who does not share the same culture as they do which is a reason to reject your position. Every person carries with them a certain sense of nationalism and if we were to have a president that was not of this nation, nationalism would weaken and it has been empirically proven that nationalism is one of the few bonds that holds a country strongly together. Third, the age limit is a reasonable restriction because a person that has ascertained the age of thirty-five will be more likely to show better qualities of leadership, wisdom and experience. Although young people such as you and myself can be potential material at our ages, we do not carry with us the experiences that would make us great leaders. We would not have the time to have obtained wisdom. Knowledge yes, but wisdom comes with age. I am not by any means saying that all of the presidents we have had have been completely competent in their position. Look at John Quincy Adams. He was an excellent Secretary of defense, but he did not show the qualities of a good president Despite his lack of abilities, he was still able to hold the country together with his experiences and natural wisdom that did come with age. Fourth, most presidents have been over the age of fifty years old, so in reality, the presidential restrictions help establish a foundational age for people to consider being president rather than them becoming president at thirty-five. Fifth, the majority of the American populace would have trouble looking up to someone who was younger than 75% of the population. I know that when I am 50, I most likely won't want someone who is 25 leading the country. Sixth, almost all presidents have some prior political experience before becoming president and it is the age restriction that makes that possible. Instead of going from law school to president, a person must wait patiently and make a name for him/herself via the position of governor, representative, or senator. With these six reasons I hope that it becomes obvious why we can not allow the qualifications for president to be removed. Thanks again!
