I view government as an institution set by the people for the people so when the question of who should vote is asked I must quite simply answer, the people. Any and all persons within the physical borders of a state should be able to have their "voice" heard, many may have no idea how government works, several may be unable to speak English, this is irrelevant when discussing who should be allowed to vote. A presidential candidate must represent the majority will of a population for the sole purpose of popularity.
If the President is popular he will enact whatever policies are best for the people as a whole, any politician will strive to appease whatever the will is of the majority of the population. If, for example, a majority percentage of the US population aren't citizens they must still be permitted to vote, their needs supersede that of any smaller group and must be met regardless of other factors.
