Roll call on the Arnold amendment

The editorial page asked each U.S. senator and representatives from California his or her thoughts on amending the Constitution to allow naturalized citizens to seek the presidency. Here's what they said.

Question: Would you support a constitutional amendment to allow naturalized citziens to seek the presidency?
Yes: 15. No: 9

Question: As a Californian, do you think it's fair that our governor can't run for president because he's a naturalized citizen?
Yes: 9. No: 15

Its not going to happen. The Democrats changing the Constitution to clear the way for Red Arnold? As long he's a Republican, fat chance.

If this passes, what we'll get is President Hernandez (PRI-Oaxaca).

If ever there was a poster boy for keeping this Constitutional provision, Arnold is it!

"He works with Democrats in a way that offers the rest of the country a model of much-needed bipartisanship."

He is a RINO anyway so what else is new.

I really want this law to be continued. This is the one right that natural born Americans actually have and one that I personally want to keep. If we keep giving away our birth rights, we will not have any left. This actually is about the only one left. Let's keep it.

Yeah, really. How long would the media or the 'Rats tolerate an elected Democrat acting as Ah-nold does towards the opposite party ? Take a look at what happened in my state of TN this past week when a courageous Democrat crossed the aisle to elect the first GOP Lieutenant Governor in 138 years (not a typo), the 'Rats wanted to lynch her on sight.

Changing the constitution for one man, no matter who that man is, is pure foolishness.

I suspect that they're really more interested in Jenny Granholm than in Arnold. They're using him as RINO bait.

Granholm on the other hand is a woman, she's a democrat and all the times we republicans have forced her hand can be used as evidence of her bipartisanship.

Naturalized citizens shouldn't be able to be President.Nothing will ever change my attitude on that issue.

Although I generally don't recommend it, I support restricting freedom of the press and the stupid editorials of the LATimes. Just them, and occasionally the NYSlimes and WACompost. And a few others...The constitution should be amended to put a muzzle on them.

There are two things that drive the democrats nuts about the Constitution.
The Electoral College
And this "born in USA for President"
Well rather than grumble about it. Ammend it!
Course they won't do that because the founders in thier wisdom made that very hard to do.
The founding fathers were smarter than the whole modern Democratic party combined!

I stand by the Constitution on this matter, for it is an issue of Prudence.

I certainly don't want charismatic demagogues like Hugo Chavez to move here, get themselves a moonbat NY Senate seat, and run for President with the media fawning over them once they've been here long enough.

Sad to saybut if he could run, most Republicans WOULD vote for the Socialist Moron, only because he is a Republican.
