Requirements to hold office:



Chapter III of Title III of the Constitution deals with the executive branch of government and sets forth the powers of the president, as well as the qualifications for the office. He is vested with the "supreme executive power of the Union".



To be eligible to serve as president, Article 82 of the Constitution specifies that the following requirements must be met:



Be a natural-born citizen of Mexico ("mexicano por nacimiento") able to exercise full citizenship rights, with at least one parent who is a natural-born citizen of Mexico.

Be a resident of Mexico for at least twenty (20) years.

Be thirty-five years of age or older at the time of the election.

Be a resident of Mexico for the entire year prior to the election (although absences of 30 days or fewer are explicitly stated not to interrupt residency).

Not be an official or minister of any church or religious denomination.

Not be in active military service during the six months prior to the election.

Not be a secretary of state or under-secretary of state, attorney general, governor of a State, or head of the government of Mexico City, unless "separated from the post" (resigned or been granted permanent leave of absence) at least six months prior to the election.

Not have been president already, even in a provisional capacity (see Succession below).

The ban on any sort of presidential re-election dates back to the aftermath of the Porfiriato and the end of the Mexican Revolution. It is so entrenched in Mexican politics that it has remained in place even as it was relaxed for other offices. In 2014, the constitution was amended to allow Deputies and Senators to run for a second consecutive term. Previously, Deputies and Senators were barred from successive re-election. However, the president remained barred from re-election, even if it is nonsuccessive.



Emphasis on:



Be a resident of Mexico for at least twenty (20) years.



Mexican President Obrador should make the change to make an exception for otherwise are eligible candidates to run for Mexican presidency. If they are American DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients who are granted an exception to work in the United States, they would not be able to run for Presidency until they moved back to Mexico and lived a continuous 20 years.



DACA recipients should be considered political refugees until the Political and Economic issues in our homelands are resolved or until we are FULLY assimilated into the United States and recognizes us as equal citizens as the law currently recognizes legal citizens and especially in the eyes of this Nation and SOCIETY.



"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"



~Emma Lazarus



Depressed DACA recipient who doesn't have anything going in life and doesn't see any hope for the future besides dark bleakness. It looks like there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel for me and the hope that my parents wanted when they brought me to this country haven't really turned out the way my people had hoped so at this point in my life, I've lived here for 23 years and feel like the lowest person in American Society with no hope for a significant change in the future. If I'm sent back to Mexico or even self-migrate back there aren't many opportunities and i'm at a loss for the culture back home. -- I would never fit in.



So at this point i'm looking for answers but can never find any, I wonder if there is anyone who can truly empathize with me because for example; even as a refugee you have legal paperwork and society doesn't look down as much as they look down at you with contempt, but at least you have papers.



At the end of the day we want the same thing the average American boy with the blue eyes and the blonde hair but we have a darker skin complexion and were born in the mud while in poverty and many of us don't even get a chance because we are filtered out by society who target minorities for their own agendas. I'm just tired of everything and if the issue is in Mexico (why else would anyone want to Migrate to the United States) is so bad, I want to be in the position to make a change for the Nation I was born in if I ever had to, or was put in a position to make a change back home being raised as an American and believing I was truly American until my friends started getting jobs and I was undocumented. Then Trump really let people tell me how much they hate my culture, my home, and my people. Lies are never acceptable, especially when you're in a position in power and this is one portion of all the marginalized groups in the United States and you can actually immediately help, and make a positive change in society towards good.
