Of all the changes in the Constitution that should not be proposed- now, of all times- is one that would make it easier for a foreign born national Muslim extremist to end up in the White House. I"m disgusted with Hatch. This should scare the hell out of everyone.

[abishai]

Simple solution. Annex Austria as the 51st state. Elect Schwarzenegger for two terms. Sell Austria to Mexico as a home for its illegal immigrants.

Iron clad evidence that congress has too much time in session!

This is as preposterous as it is un-American!

[Rome2000]

Hatch said figures such as former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright or Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, the Canada native whom Democrats consider a rising star, couldn't be President.

Thank goodness !

[PhiKapMom]

Want a link to the story!

[ALOHA RONNIE]

...and HILLARY wants a Constitutional Amemdment to eliminate our ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

NUTS.

[TheDon]

You don't need to worry about foreign born Muslims. We got plenty of them that were born here. Besides whose the best known Muslim today, Bin Laden? No, this change is for one person only....

[El Gato]

Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, drafted in 1787, says that only natural-born Americans at least 35 years old who have lived in the country for 14 years can serve as President.>

A good idea in 1787 and still good idea today.

Not that a native born American can't be a traitor, and occupy the White House at the same time, seems like that's happened quite recently come to think of it.

[Cronos]

This reminds me of the movie Demolition man where Sylvester Stallone comes upon the Schwarzenegger library and Sandra Bullock (hmmmmm) tells him that in 2010 Congress allowed foreign born persons to run for President.

Truth mirroring fiction?

[GatekeeperBookman]

Does Mr. Hatch belong to CFR?? No matter-this does raise many questions about what have been laughingly called conspircay theories.

[ActionNewsBill]

Hatch said figures such as former Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright or Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, the Canada native whom Democrats consider a rising star, couldn't be President.

There's three good reasons right there not to change the constitution.

President Kissinger?

[rintense]

Agreed. This is just stupidity at this point in time.

[countrydummy]

This is an outrage and is scary and folks do need to know this. Hatch has completely lost it!

[hardhead]

Just another nail in the coffin of U.S. sovereignty. It will happen! The tenacles of the one-worlders have a long reach and they are strangling the Constitution and our society. There are some who have been warning of this for years but people are basically happy as long as they have weekend sports and beer. This is another very deliberate attempt to end the great experiment of the republic of the United States. It is a fact that a complete change to socializm cannot just occur - it has to be done in little bits and pieces so that people are not aware of it. Thank God for patriots.

[CholeraJoe]

Nor could the 700 foreign born recipients of the Medal of Honor.

That's because most of them received their awards during the Civil War and Indian Campaigns and are dead.

[B Knotts]

This is absolutely crazy. Hatch needs some Prozak or something.

[McCloud-Strife]

Something that recently occured to me is this. The first nine presidents were not born in the United States, but Rather in the British colonies. It was not until John Taylor, born in 1790 that a president was born in the US. So how did they go about getting elected?

[Liberal Classic]

Anyone ever see a movie set in the near future called Demolition Man with Sly Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock?

This wouldn't be important, but I'm starting to get disturbed by the real life foreshadowing. In the movie Bullock tells Stallone that Arnold is president. Stallone asks how is that possible, Schwarzenegger is foreign born? Bullock tells him the 30th amendment to the constitution allowed the practice.

Queue Twilight Zone music. Do do do do do do do do...

[ZULU]

Hatch is an idiot. I'll never forget the look of amazement on his face at the DemocRats tactics in the Clinton Impeachement.

Hatch, like Nixon and other strange Republicans hatch out weird ideas - like lowering the voting age, eliminating the draft, affirmative action and "normal" relations with Red China.

If they are really considering changing this extremely important part of the Constitution, I hope Larry FLynt wins in Kaliforeigna. They deserve him, and we don't want Schwarzenegger to use that state as a springboard to the White House. We don't need a pro-homosexual, anti-gun, pro-abortionist married into the Kennedy Klan in Washington. California is fine, Washington is no good.

I repeat - Hatch is a naive idiot.

[Dan from Michigan]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No Granholm.

[timydnuc]

Note to the sponsors of this amendment:NO FREAKING WAY PALLIE!
