On the website of the group that's running ads that support changing the Constitution to let Arnold run for the White House, it says ...
About the Founders of AmendUs.org --- Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones and Mimi Chen ...
Lissa and Mimi were roommates freshman year at Princeton University. ... Lissa's a libertarian-turned-RINO (Republican in name only) and Mimi's a member of the Green Party.

Once again, if you want George Soros to buy his way into the Presidency, just change the Constitution. Sure, a lot of people like Ahnold, but it's the other potential presidents that present a huge threat to our country.
Such an amendment would never happen.
Do you suppose the real mover-shaker behind this "movement" might be Arnold's wife, the Kennedy lady? Maybe she's already tired of living in the hokey town of Sacramento, and wants to move to D.C. ??? Just speculating.
...but then the Dems could run Obama...
I do NOT like the idea...
Not for Arnold...not for any foreign born....never.
Do you mean a Green Paree? Like Arafat?
Wasn't he born an American citizen - in Hawaii if I'm informed correctly????
I'm a fan of Arnold but this whole thing is ridiculous, and will hopefully die if that bigmouth Orin Hatch will stop his silly push for it.
NEIN!
Good lord, the people who would change the Constitution for such a stupid reason are idiots. There is barely enough people who would do it to save the institution of marriage.
It won't happen..All talk.
It's not about Obama, he's eligible. It's about Granholm.
Did anyone else see the title of this website? Especially anyone from Michigan?
"Amend for Arnold and Jen"
Then there's this phrase:
"If you want Arnold to become President or if you'd like to see Jennifer Granholm become President, JOIN US!"
If Jennifer Granholm ever becomes president, it will be a sad day for this country.
MGY
This would be my guess. I read (Sac Bee, I believe) that when Ah-nold had trouble getting the Calif. Rats to go along with him, she started placing calls. Lo and behold...problem solved. She has waaay too much involvement (PIAPS?). Constitution will NOT be changed.
Now it all becomes clearer!..A Canadian socialist for President.
Shouldn't that organization be called,
"Amend Constitution for Soros"
To amend the Constitution, a proposal must gain the support of two-thirds of the House and Senate, and three-fourths of the states. As a result, of the thousands of proposed amendments, only 27 have passed. Amendments must be proposed either by a two-thirds vote in Congress, or by a Constitutional Convention. Such a convention can only be held if two-thirds of the states' legislatures support it.
In any case... every time I hear this idea brought up, I remember how we were taught in grade school (back when they used to teach anything in grade school) that the date of the fall of the Roman Empire was fixed by the ascension of a barbarian to the office of Caesar...
