It’s a requirement to be born in America to be President. It should also be a requirement to be born in America to be a federal judge.

Elon Musk posted on X arguing that federal judges, like presidents, should be required to be born in America. This statement reflects a perspective that citizenship requirements similar to those for the presidency should extend to the federal judiciary. The post does not provide detailed reasoning or policy context for this proposal.
