He's not eligible to run for president because he was born in Uganda.

Damn, I forgot the constitution was racist

Fortunately the constitution doesn't matter anymore. Run him anyway!

It's not actually a racist policy. People born in the US, regardless of race, can run for president. People born outside of the US, regardless of race, cannot. Xenophobic, maybe? But not racist. Arnold Swarzenegger can't run for president either. Neither can Elon Musk.

How is the foreign born restriction racist? It blocked Arnold Schwarzenegger from running.
