If congress passed an amendment allowing foreign-born citizens who have lived in the U.S. for 20+ years run for president, and Arnold ran... would you vote for him? Should congress allow such an amendment?

No.
No.
He is good for Kalifornia. Let him stay there.
No, but if you want someone interesting to consider for '08, I wonder if Mike Huckaby (Arkansas) would be it. I wasn't familiar with him other than what I'd heard, but the other night he was on some show. Articulate as hell and appears to be extremely intelligent. Would definitely do a great job in debates and forensic performance.
Also someone to have as Republican candidate for '08... John Carter (Texas - District 31) extremely conservative and a great guy... I'd vote for him most definitely!!
If we have to have a pro murder president, I would truly prefer it to be a Democrat.
well, if the alternative was hilllary clinton, then I would.
With Schwarz., at least we know where he stands. He wants to be number one in whatever he does, and he wants to win, period. He may be the most generally successful alpha male in public political life in the US today, and could probably win a US presidential election. His policies are far to the left of my ideals, but the choices we are given in the future may make him look good.
"Should congress allow such an amendment?"
This is an aside, but the congress does not need to enter its view into a constitutional amendment. 3/4 of states have to ratify one, with or without congress, if my memory serves.
No! I like Ahnold, but then I like to watch the animals in the zoo frolicking in the tall grass, too.
I would NEVER vote for an amendment to allow a foreign born to be President. If we let one, we'll have to let all.
:O)

"I would NEVER vote for an amendment to allow a foreign born to be President. If we let one, we'll have to let all."
We, as well as Congress, are not needed to vote one into law.
The state legislatures are the ones who would have to do this.
No to Rudy and McCain as well.
No.. Great in the talkies, out in Cali, but not as our leader.
and yes I would vote ... but NOT for Arnold
Arnold's great. However I would have to vote No on a constitution change. If he was born in the US....Maybe.
The constitution is not a "living, changing document" subject to the whim and will of every two-bit politician that comes along.
No, I will not support a constitutional amendment allowing for a foreign "could be Hitler" to take control of our government.
We have plenty of good honest men in this country. Why would we want to import one?
