Those who hold a second nationality and want to run for these offices will have to renounce it before applying to register as candidates. The provision seeks to ensure that people holding these responsibilities maintain only their legal bond of Mexican nationality while in office.

I can't say I agree on this one. I think it's just another one of her policies she's enacted to protect Mexico's future by making sure politicians only have its best interest in mind.

The US isn't the only country meddling in Mexican politics. There's a growing Zionist presence in Chiapas that's going to have to be delt with eventually.

Yeah that's my thoughts as well. It encourages decision making for the benefit of the country, as it should be for country leaders.

I remember as a kid learning about why Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't run for president; which ironically I think he'd be decent at best, because he actually gives a shit about people, the law/rules, and public relations.
