An American in the Year 2025

Vivek Ramaswamy lectures us:
Because we are the country where regardless of your race, your gender, your sexuality, 31:50 your religion, or your lineage, you can still be a citizen of this nation so 31:56 long as you subscribe to and live by our national creed. So what does it mean to be an American in the year 2025? It 32:03 means we still believe in those ideals of 1776. It means we believe in merit. 32:09 That the best person gets the job regardless of their genetics.
I agree with some of what he says, but who appointed him to define what it means to be an American?

He is mainly describing ideals of 2025, not 1776. I don't think anyone back then said that you are an American based on your beliefs in the national creed.
