This is how it begins folks. Then more accommodations and of course if you oppose it you're an Islamophobe.

Only natural-born American citizens should serve in the federal government, that includes Congress and cabinet positions.

When the entire elected government is anti-American, it is our DUTY to OVERTHROW them and reinstitute any form of government we decide upon. Follow the US Constitution, minus some amendments would be fine with me. Add a few too, like a definition of Natural Born Citizen, and a requirement to be one to hold any office in any capacity within the borders of the US.

We have some freepers who think someone born in a foreign country with one citizen parent can be a natural born citizen.

That describes Anwar al-Awlaki’s kids and Ted Cruz.

"Only natural-born American citizens should serve in the federal government, that includes Congress and cabinet positions."

Agreed, at least for all of Congress, all cabinet members in the Executive and all on the Supreme Court.

It's of course not an end all be all guarantee of fidelity to our country and constitution...however, there is no reason why it shouldn't be required. There is plenty enough population that are natural born Citizens of our country to choose from.
