Voting Requirements

As a liberal, I oppose setting requirements for voting, but once in a while something happens that makes me waver on that.

In an adult discussion group the topic was presidential qualification; natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. The discussion included one woman who opposed the first part of that, declaiming that it was terribly unfair and unreasonably barred many qualified people from our nation's highest office. She wanted to know, "What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by c-section?"

We let these people vote?
