Based on the insanity I have witnessed since 2000, I'd say anything's possible. Especially when you have someone like AhNuld, star-worshipped by so many. He's probably going to do everything in his power to be the next Republican prez. As for me, I say leave the constitution as it is (in this case).

I live in California and voted for Arnold. I am pleased with what he has done and hope that he will continue as Governer. However, as much as I like Arnold and think he is a benefit to the state of California, I would NOT support anything that would help him become eligible to run for President. I believe we should keep things as they are and allow only U.S. born citizens to become President.

Getting ready for Arnie as prez?

Wait a moment all Americans are immigrants, the natives were almost all killed.
Never realized you had native presidents.. oh you didn't surprise, surprise what with the tolerant and inclusive attitudes overthere!
So all this "i am a American born American" stuff is just to conviniently forget you don't belong there.. but nevermind... i am all for a non American being eligable for office.. we might finally see a non WASP president (i doubt it though).

So you're a buddy of Ken Lays too?

Never realized the @%^$% had so many friends.


Come on Arnie is there to make sure California doesn't ask for all its money back from Enron.

Well I am a quarter native American and I say there should'nt be any "foreign born" presidents elected. We don't even have a U.S. born woman or minority president yet. But there might be the possibility of a foreign born leader? That's so unfair.

What about the theory Alex Jones said that Bush we connected to the British royal family bloodline? i know he says alot of things,

I'm against such an amendment. I have Native American ancestors too.

We should have really tight immigration laws and do what we can to keep illegals out. We should not have a foreign-born President. We need to keep our sovereignty. In fact, we should pull out of the UN and get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Take care of our own first!

I am an American citizen, and have been all my life. I love my country, but I have had (what I consider to be the priviledge) of having been born and raised outside of the U.S. I believe that an outsider's perspective is what this country needs, and I am offended that someone like me, no matter how patriotic, can never have the opportunity to lead. I understand the concern that people may have with this policy, but, again, we're all immigrants anyway

I triple the motion, as having American Native ancestry. It may not be very much, however I have awakened to it recently and studied more in this heritage. I think that "the great white father," if you will, should some day be a Native American before anyone from overseas.

I have always like Arnold even back in his Mr. Olympia body building days. I also think he is doing a good job as Governor of California. He has a approval rating most politician can only dream of. But I would be against Arnold being allowed to run for President.

If we want a weight lifter turned movie star turned Governor we always have US born Jesse Ventura he was even in Predator too. Plus he was a navy seal

All this rhetoric is good fine, but come on the only non-wasp president was white anglo saxon and catholic and look what they did to him!

I don't think i wll live to see anything other than wasp presidents in America, i don't even think i'll live to see a woman get the job.

So much for the inclusive and tolerant society you made yourselves over there..

What are you talking about? Not going to live to see a woman in the White House? There will defenintly be a woman in the White House. And I predict it will be the next election. Either Hillary Clinton or Condilisa(hope I spelled that right) Rice. (Please do not comment on the who's in that statement. Jesus, I don't wanna start another god forsaken political debate )

As for the topic on hand, I am also against such an amendment. I think Amethyst said it best in one of the above posts:

"We should have really tight immigration laws and do what we can to keep illegals out. We should not have a foreign-born President. We need to keep our sovereignty. In fact, we should pull out of the UN and get out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Take care of our own first!"

I am not in favor of changing the constitution. I am surely not in favor of arnie
as president. i am watching closely how he is dealing with Native American
issues in the granola state. IMO i would not want him in a position where he
could screw it up in the whole country.


here is a thought to ponder, a one on one political debate with lets say arnie,
jean- claude, or pierce and some one from cajun country, i mean way back in the
bayou.

Bush and the English Royals interesting idea.

There is however a website in the process of proving the genealogy of the all powerful members of the worlds governments. And they display a list of Bush's cousins, the current realtion count is: -

Governors - 41
Senators - 16
Representatives - 57
Other Politicians - 2
Businessmen& Bankers - 4
Heads of non-U.S. governments - 2
Royalty - 1
TOTAL - 12

www.blue-blood.co.uk

I think that's it. If it doesn't work let me know and I'll go through my history files.

Hmm, thats really interesting
Need to check into it abit more.

But getting back to arnie....i can see the rules being changed for him.

I am very against this I don't think arnie our any other person born elsewhere should even be considered to lead us

Yeah he didnt take any of the money the Indian Casinos offered him for his election, and he wants the Casinos to pay taxes. Man what was the guy thinking

Funny how this country was stolen from the natives, yet we are just making a new law for a leader that is born outside of the states.

Did the Native Americans have the chance to make such bill? Or they just got shot over a chicken or duck while their homeland got taken away from invaders.

It's Ironic that how things has been happening, happened in the past. Yet we are finding new ways to make it new to us.
