[Eligibility of Naturalized Foreigners for the Office of President of the U. S.]
Illinois Staats-Zeitung, Jan. 30, 1871
Editorial on a bill introduced by Senator Cates to charge the Constitution so that foreigners will be able to be candidates for the presidency. The Illinois Staats Zeitung supports this motion in the name of political equality "among other things the adoption of the Cates amendment would remedy the disagreeable situation of German parents of precocious children. The children would no longer be able to boast that they can become more than the parents, namely President of the United States."
