Actually the dems are backing it for there own reasons.
One of the Governors is a woman who was born in Canada, alot of dems want her to either run or be able to run for president.
I hate saying this, but everyone here is just assuming that the whole point of this amendment is just for Arnold, if the dems support something, there's generally a sinister motive to it. It seems that to many people just look at things a little shortsighted instead of looking into all the motives.
Like Jennifer Granholm, I was born in Canada too. So yes, I am a proud native North American as well as American, period. But I don't favor amending the Constitution lightly. There are other capacities in which foreign born American citizens can serve their country.
