He’s openly known to be foreign born. Can’t happen.
Besides he’s an effing RINO and he’s helped to drag CA down a financial well they probably won’t get out of without defaulting.
“So they’re planning on using Governor Schwarzenegger as a Ross Perot against Governor Palin in 2012? How do you think that’ll work for them?”
It won’t. Unlike bambi, Arnie has papers
The State if California says “NO”.
What’s the problem? Arnold can just claim that he was actually born in Hawaii and call anyone who asks him to prove it a hater and a lunatic.
Schwarzenegger is nothing but weak.
Turned into a girlyman—the worst kind of RINO.
Schwarzenegger’s liberalism is not merely a price for personal gain but a preferred agenda.
Don’t forget the reference to “the Schwartzenegger amendment” in “Demolition Man”.
Arnold needs to go back to the gym and stay there.....Oh, and he should stick to the medicine ball, the Nautilus is too complex for his steroid-addled brain.
Possible if idiot states keep allowing crossover votes.
Not possible. You may not have to be a natural citizen anymore but you at least have to pretend to be!
Unlike with Obama there is no doubt where Arnie was born, Austria. No one is amending the constitution so one 1 jerk can run for President. Only in his dreams!
I would be disposed to support a constitutional amendment that allowed naturalized citizens to be eligible for the presidency if they’ve been U.S. citizens for 35 years (since they would have been U.S. citizens for as long as a 35-year-old natural-born citizen has been a U.S. citizen), but such an amendment would not be in my top 10 list of necessary constitutional amendments. Maybe it could be section 2 to an amendment that clarifies that persons born in the U.S. whose parents are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents shall not be deemed U.S. citizens at birth.
But Arnold Schwarzenegger could never become president even with such a constitutional amendment. The only naturalized citizen whom I can think of off the top of my head whom I would support for president or VP if such amendment was approved would be Congressman Peter Hoekstra of Michigan.
I tend to agree with your idea.
Hoekstra is from the motherland huh, I didn’t know that, or more likely did and forgot.
Unsurprisingly Arnold favors 25 years rather than 35. Can’t want to wait till 2020 (1983 + 35 2018) cause he knows at age 73 he and his running mate Megan McCain would be no match for me. ;)
Hoekstra was born in The Netherlands and emigrated to the U.S. with his parents when he was 4 years old (or maybe even younger), moving to the aptly named Holland, Michigan.
Other naturalized citizens who have been in Congress recently include the late Tom Lantos (Hungary), Lincoln Díaz-Balart and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Cuba), Ciro Rodríguez (Mexico), Joe Cao (Vietnam), and Senator Mel Martínez (Cuba). And Arnold is not the only naturalized governor, since Jennifer Granholm of MI is Canadian (it’s a shame that Hoekstra lost the GOP gubernatorial primary, not just because he’s more conservative than Snyder, but he’d continue MI’s streak of having a governor who’s constitutionally ineligible to become president).
The Constitution will not be amended to allow idiot Arnold to run for President.
Won’t happen.
By all means, let the Terminator destroy America like he has destroyed California.
Ahhnold is no Republican. Not even a RINO.
No, Maria took care of that problem. I said that the moment he married her—I knew she would turn him.
As was said by a wag here on FR recently, it would have been much better for the world if Joe Kenndey, Sr. was sterile.
Hahaha!
