While “changing the law”, they may also lift the ban on Obama’s third term.

Then they can have a debate together and Ahnold can insist that the entire debate be in Austrian.

Does anybody realize what kind of a low life self serving scumbag Schwarzenegger would have to be in order to even try to change the constitution. What happened to natural born Americans running for president. Does anyone see that the game is intentionally rigged. The left is doing everything it can to destroy every aspect of the old USA.

The US Constitution is a racist document that should be ignored.

Thanks ClaytonP.

Uh, the "legal paperwork" required is a Constitutional amendment. Based on that alone, it's possible that this story is a phony.

The rules have already been changed. The Constitutional definition for a natural born citizen as required by Article 2 requires that both parents be U.S. citizens at time of birth. Since obama was allowed to run for President( naturalized, one parent U.S. Citizen), the 14th amendment would allow Schwarzenegger to run for the office. Both are technically naturalized citizens. Congress can not pick and choose when they want to enforce article 2, it must apply fairly with all citizens.

This question came up ten years ago, when Arnold ran for governor, and he said he didn’t want the Constitution amended just for him. What has changed his mind since then?

That’s another reason this looks bogus.

Of course, he’d only get a free pass from the partisan media shills for his philandering, divorce, and national origin if he switched parties before he announced. The Demagogic Party would have 100,000 astroturf staff on the streets getting signatures for the ballot proposals to amend, and have his ex-wife give a ringing endorsement of his candidacy (more ringing than “I believe my husband’s story” about Chappaquiddick from Joan).

On what grounds does he think he could get the law changed?

Obama has already set precedence. Just hide your documents Arnold.

Just what we would need: another liberal Republican Republican presidential candidate

Amen! But Obama really did set precedence for him to run if he hides the documents. What Obama did is really serious. Obama may not have been born outside the nation, he may even have real American born parents for all we know (we have not seen any documented proof who his parents really are). Still, he ignored the Constitution and did not prove his eligibility. It may have been intentional (even though he's got nothing to hide) so the doors will be open for others not born in the US to run.

Get on the birther wagon and impeach this man or the precedence has been set forever.

Birtherism is not an implication that Obama was born outside the US. It implies that Obama refused to prove his eligibility based on his birth records.

Sorry, but he is Pennsylvania Dutch; he faked Austrian ancestry as an exotic backstory to win his first Mr. Olympia contest. After that, he was stuck with it. Of course he changed his name at the same time.

I was working in the Official Records Office at the County Courthouse in York County, PA, in 1974 and can verify that Arnold has a valid birth certificate and it is totally, totally real and official. But nobody can see it. Just because. I made a copy. Take a look:

Just seems to me that if Obama was born in the States, he would have produced a birth certificate right away. Instead, he refused to release a birth certificate for months, maybe years and when he finally did, the certificate appeared phony. Even if the certificate is genuine, I have to ask why the delay. What was he trying to hide?

Everything about Obama is suspicious. He can't say 2 words without lying. So it's natural to be suspicious about his birth, his education, everything. All politicians lie, but Obama has elevated lying into an art form.

Plus Obama has demonstrated that he can violate any law he wants to and get away with it. So far he has been successful since no one appears willing to seriously challenge him. The law regarding the president's citizenship status is now worthless. If Arnold wanted to run without an amendment or revocation of the law, I doubt he would be stopped. We are now a lawless nation.

I just don't like Arnold and wouldn't vote for him no matyer the circumstances.

Even if I wanted Arnold, and I don’t, it would mean that the UN would run multiple candidates every chance they hand.

Not happening unless the U.S. Constitution gets amended that changes the "Natural Born Citizenship" requirement for eligibility to be President or Vice-President to something like "Citizen, either Natural Born or Nationalized".

Amending the U.S. Constitution can be done by either getting 2/3rds of each house of Congress to vote to approve an amendment, then they must send it to the states, where 3/4 of the state legislatures must vote to ratify the proposed amendment. The second way requires a Constitutional Convention, where 2/3 of the states must petition Congress to convene a Constitutional Convention and then 3/4 of the states must ratify any amendment to comes out of a Convention.

My own two cents on this, no way will the Constitution get amended to formally allow Nationalized Citizens to become citizens in Arnold's lifetime. Who knows what will happen in 30 or more years, especially if the illegals ever get amnestied and become citizens.

He probably wants to be president so he can sign into law a national ban on .50 cal rifles.
