A natural born citizen
America here is our real problem...
In a Purdue University classroom, they were discussing the qualifications to be President of the United States. It was pretty simple, the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age.

However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen. In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was taking it in and letting her rant, and not many jaws hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?"

Yep, these are the same kind of 18-year-olds that just voted in our last election!

They breed and they walk among US...

It was a while before I could afford to go to college (other than
night school in the Army), so I was about 30 in a journalism class
and all the other students were around 19 years old save one,
who was around 45.
.
This was decades ago, before the Intertubes.
.
About midway through the semester, the professor asked how many
of the students read newspapers.
.
Two hands were raised.
.
Us senior citizens of the class.
.
A JOURNALISM class!!!!

The professor said that was the usual response he got every semester.
