Liberty amendment Idea.

To be eligible for president one must have spent 16 years out of their first 20 years of life within the borders of the United States.

The “Formative Years” Amendment.

Because if you grew up in the United States you are more likely to have allegiance to the country.

I wouldn’t feel comfortable to rely only on the fact someone who ‘just grew up in the US’ is qualified for POTUSA as this doesn’t demand allegiance to our Constitution. There are memories of the post WWII days with all the communists coming out of the political woodwork. I believe the ‘born to parentS who are citizenS of the land of birth’ is a very good and probably the most practical lock on allegiance to be expected.
