Actually, it would be okay with me as my ancestor arrived in the New World in 1641 from Sweden!

I hear ya, my ancestors were here in Virgina by then as well, but I think "length of time in the country tests" are just silly. There's only one issue I know of on which when your ancestors came to the US is a likely predictor (though not certain) of your views: gun control. Those whose forbears were here before the civil war (and more so those who were here before the revolution) are far more likely to oppose gun control than those whose ancestors arrived after the civli war. And, those whose forbears fought in those conflicts (American side for the revolution, either side for the Late Unpleasantness) are even more likely to oppose gun control.

You know what, that is an extremely good point. Since this is a "Nation of Laws not of Men" perhaps that should be the qualifier in determining citizenship.
Should everybody be subject to the same citizen test LEGAL immigrants are required to take and pass before citizenship is bestowed upon them?

Should people born here would have to take the test upon reaching the age of 18 and take the oath of allegiance?
It is an interesting concept.
