There are several open questions regarding the constitutional eligibility to be elected Vice President. For example, it is certainly arguabe (and, I believe, more likely than not) that a two-term President such as Bill Clinton or George W. Bush could be elected VP, since the 22nd Amendment does not change the constitutional requirements to *serve as* President, merely to *be elected* President (and the 12th Amendment merely says that persons constitutionally ineligible to serve as President may not serve as VP). And reasonable minds may disagree on the exact definition of “natural-born citizen” for purposes of constitutional qualifications for the presidency, although the overwhelming majority of scholars agree that it refers to persons who are U.S. citizens from birth, including foreign-born children of U.S. citizens who meet the requirements for citizenship at birth.
However, there is absolutely no doubt that (i) Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a natural-born U.S. citizen (he is a naturalized U.S. citizen) and (ii) it is a requirement to serve as U.S. President or U.S. Vice President to be a natural-born U.S. citizen. It is ridiculous that someone would waste time and money writing an article about a possible VP candidacy for Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Ha! Another immigration law that won't be enforced.
