Andrew Andy Thomas,

You said "However, do you know that by renouncing their Haitian citizenship most Haitian who became a U.S. citizen through naturalization is not considered a natural born citizen?

Andy, even the cave man knows that. Are you educating me on that issue?

Andy I know that a person must be born on the US soil or on a US territory, or be born of 2 American parents wherever in the world in order to be a US-born citizen.

What is your point?

You also said "Consequently, naturalized U.S. citizens are not eligible for certain public offices such as the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States."

Don't we all know that?

According to the US constitution only a US-born citizen can be president, but the constitution does not mention anything about vice-president.

Only common sense tells us since the vice president is the next person to the presidency in case something happens to the president, by all means, it makes perfect sense that the vice president be a US-born citizen.

So, what is your point?

You said "Most of them did not know that. Do they petition for the Americans to change their Constitutional Laws?"

Andy where have you been?

With all due respect, let me say that you are really out of touch with world event and the information age. If you were, you would have known that many members of the US congress have been talking about amending the constitution to allow naturalized citizens to become president since Arnold Schwarzenegger got elected governor of California.

Andy do you see the difference there is about competent people who know what's good for their country?

The government did not wait for the people to petition that change in the constitution, they (the government) took the initiative.

The US government doesn't see those who naturalized as threat to the United States, but rather as a big asset to the country and that's why the government wants to include as many people as possible into the process.
