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?
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.
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.
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.

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...
No. No. No.
Forget it.
Not gonna happen.
I like Arnold and I respect him. But, I wouldn't change our Constitution for one man today, and leave that door open for foreign liberals in the future
Tell you what... you let us know the instant Arnold says he would like to run for President. Until then this is just garbage and innuendo.
Send him back to Austria where he can run for president there.

Lissa comes from a long line of citizens with an attitude: her grandmother ran for the Senate in 1946, her mother hijacked an Iowa caucus to vote for Eisenhower, and her father led the effort in 1975 to reduce the capital gains tax from 48% to 28%. (When Congress passed the reduction in 1978, it caused a huge increase in venture capital. This helped create Silicon Valley and the 17 million new jobs Ronald Reagan was so proud of during his administration.)
