Yes, of course, as long as he did at least an okay job at being President.  You see, I don't care what race the President is, at all, the only thing that matters is what they're going to do in office.

Wouldn't a Native American candidate HAVE to win out of PC courtesy?

Just like blacks, Hispanics, and women win every race they run in?

The difference, in this case, is though that the natives would have more of a reasonable right to rule what was once theirs. I suppose you could apply that argument to saying that a Hispanic running for, say, governor of NewMexico would have to win by default.

I hope you're joking...

I'm just pushing a PC argument.

There was one already. Calvin Coolidge.
(ok, he wasn't a full native american, but does that matter Wink )

Wow, I hope all Native Americans would be that good of a presidency.

Ideology matters. Nothing else does when I select who I vote for.

If you mean someone who wants their land back, hell no.

I agree with that, but otherwise, I don't see any reason why not.  If I agreed with them, then there shouldn't be a problem.

A candidate's race or sex would not matter to me. Its their principles that counts.

Wait, don't you oppose letting foreign-borns run for President?

What if it was an ideologically programmed robot? Or someone who was ideologically simmilar to you, but also insane?
