It may sound 'cute' now, but if they start the process to amend the Constitution so foreign-born people can be President it'll be paranoia time.

Nah. I would never do that. You can let me be president. Really.

If I, a Tasmanian, became President I would round up all the native inhabitants (ie. Americans) and send them to live in Hawaii (which even then is too hospitable). Then move all the Tasmanians to America where we could use the reources and Land without having to worry about any indigenous people, just like here .

Too bad all treaties have to be ratified by the Senate.

Well, I would disolve the senate the day before.

Of course to do that you'd need to be granted "special emergency powers" in a carefully-engineered national crisis.

I can't decide whether to draw a parallel to Attack of the Clones, Babylon 5 or modern-day USA...
