You are nuts-if you mean a run for prez. Have you read the Constitution? It prohibits foreign born, naturalized citiezens from holding that office.

Have you seen this proposed amendment sponsored by Orin Hatch?

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to make eligible for the Office of President a person who has been a United States citizen for 20 years. (Introduced in Senate)

Its not going to pass Congress. Its the ultimate "special interest" amendment. Yeah I can see Democrats voting to make easier for Arnold to beat Hillary. It will NEVER happen not if the Wicked Witch Of New York has anything to say and do about it.
