People wonder why I've had it with the two party system? I sure wish John Stossel would run on a Libertarian ticket.

California's Austrian-born governor says foreign-born citizens should be able to run for president and he supports a constitutional amendment to make it happen

Yeah? Well, Bill Klinton wanted to do away with the 22nd Amendment. Perhaps, the 2 of them ought to get together & form a support group?

I'm sure it will be passed, and fairly sure it's not intended to benefit Rnold. The debate over his run in Calif. here was spun as he might be too liberal for the rest of the country but he's alright for Calif. I wonder who they really have in mind for us?

"California's Austrian-born governor says foreign-born citizens should be able to run for president and he supports a constitutional amendment to make it happen."

Right Arnold - we'll set it up right after we plug in amendments for gay (mairrage), abortion of demand at grade schools, and relocating the national capital to Mexico City.

You just have to admire a public servant with their priorites in the right place.

We now have many more than two parties. What makes you think that more, or different, major parties will solve anything?

Arnold's proposal sounds like the Kennedy influence seeping out. Next, he will be proposing that there was no bridge in Chappaquidic.

Remember the good old days when the law was the law, and it didn't need to be changed every time somebody with a big ego wanted different?

I'd sure like to see how Arnold straightens out Californjia before he changes the Constitution of the U.S.A.

Nothing to do with the two-party system. It's called human nature, or original sin. Nothing in this world will ever be perfect.

I said to begin with that I thought Karl Rove manipulated things so Simon would lose and Arnold would win, because he wanted a pro-abort Country Clubber in California. Now he has what he wants, and it was a big mistake.

I wouldn't vote for Arnold for president under any consideration. But we can live with him as governor of California as long as Rove comes to his senses and Arnold is quarantined in California. If Arnold comes to the Republican convention and starts pitching the Big Tent again, it will divide the party and we will have NO CHANCE of a significant gain in the Senate.

The solution is to try to bring the Republicans to their senses, not to go chasing after some third party that will have all of the same troubles. Was Pat Buchanan the solution? Was Ross Perot? Will the next splinter party candidate be any better? They're all human, and Bush is far better than most of them. I just wish Rove would get a little political sense. Abortion is a losing game for the Republicans. It's not only wrong, it's politically stupid.

Does anyone think this MIGHT have something to do with the Gubernator's chances of running for President??

The Gubernator is a perfect example of WHY foreign borns shouldn't run for President. His anti-gun record bespeaks a foreign attitude towards firearms and their significance in gaining and keeping our freedom.

I'll trust Adams, Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, et al on this issue over a Hollyweird strongman from Austria. with a Kennedy bride, on the make for higher office.

The Gubernator should strighten out Kalifornia's mess before suggesting ways to amend the Constitution.

By the way, why did it take the Gubernator so long to come out hiding over the law-breakinig, homophilic mayor of San Francisco escapade?

The Gubernator is NO Ronald Reagan.

Questions for the citizenship legal experts:

a) If US citizens working for the US government, or just visiting, in Austria give birth while there, is the child now eligible to run for President?

b) If Austrian citizens working or visiting in the US give birth, is the child now eligible to run for President?

There is a reason why it's hard to ammend the Constitution...regardless Arnold is not presidential material (then again who is these days, the people who would best serve as President want nothing to do with the job or the campaigning).

I'd like to see Arnold uphold and enforce the existing laws first.

He can "dream the impossible dream" there's nothing wrong with that.

He has CA Attorney General Lockyer in his crosshairs over the gay marriage idiocy. I hope he keeps him there.

Forget it, Aharnult. If I wanted to live under a RINO, I'd move to Africa and dig a hole.
