After Sunday night's Golden Globes you may be wondering, why is Mozart in a jungle, and more importantly, why is he stealing all our awards? How did an under-the-radar Amazon Instant Video show about an orchestra nab the top prize for comedy television? How did this Gael García Bernal beat out heavyweights like Jeffrey Tambor, Aziz Ansari and Patrick Stewart for best actor?
Allow me to shed some light on this perplexing matter of pop culture.
The past few news cycles have drawn attention to a clause in the American constitution that the President must be a natural-born citizen. I feel that vigorous debate over this could be healthy, but I am disturbed by the large number of people who shrug off the issue with a "Who cares?" I also am troubled by the way that many people interpret this clause and the rest of the constitution opportunistically.
I would not object to a constitutional amendment that allowed any U.S. citizen, of any age, gender, race, or digital format to become president. I would be willing to support the direct election of any citizen who the people chose — if the constitution were amended to prescribe that.
