DANA MAKES A MOVE FOR ARNOLD [KJL]
(Washington, D.C.) Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (CA-46) introduced a constitutional amendment today that would allow foreign-born Americans who have been citizens for at least 20 years to be eligible to seek the office of the presidency.
"It is time that we amend the constitution to remove an archaic provision that was originally designed to keep the nobility of foreign countries from meddling in American democracy," Rohrabacher said. "If an immigrant has demonstrated his commitment to America and is truly qualified as a leader, then there is no good reason to bar him from seeking the highest office in the land."

Hey, I like it. And Sly Stallone's movie called it. And here you thought Hollywood movies couldn't call things right. Sure, you might not be seeing dragons flaming London, but the Presidentator? Could be...

If an immigrant has demonstrated his commitment to America and is truly qualified as a leader, Kerry has not demonstrated his commitment to America and is not qualified to be our leader, but the MSM wants him so that is good enough.
If this passes I hope to be able to find out who voted Yea!
To: BelegStrongbow
I'm against it and will write my representatives encouraging them to block it.

I have to disagree with the move. What is to prevent a foreign raised to move here at 30 and run at 50 with ideals that are sorely lacking compared to the foundations of the Republic?
No - I say let the Constitution stand as is.

Terrible idea.
Our founding dead guys knew what they were doing. I've absolutely had it with Congress and their neverending stream of amendment ideas -- as if they know better than Washington, Jefferson, Madison, et al. It's ridiculous.

This amendment will not pass. It has absolutely zero chance of passage. And rightly so.

Oh, how nice. If this passes and is ratified, we would have the oppportunity to elect foreign-born gun grabbers as president, in addition to native-born gun-grabbers like Clinton, or, God forbid, Kerry.
