The Republican governor said anyone who has been a U.S. citizen for at least 20 years -- as he has -- should "absolutely" be able to seek the presidency. A constitutional amendment proposed by Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican, would make that possible.
20 years? Hell, they want to give status to illegal immigrants. How 'bout 20 days?
"Look at the kind of contribution that people like Henry Kissinger have made...
Uh, I don't think Mr. Machiavelli Kissinger is the best example you could come up with Arnie...Of course Terminator 4 could be filmed using the full arsenal of democracy if Schwarzenegger/Stallone 2012 comes to fruition.
Considering America's status as the "cultural melting pot" and haven for immigrants I think this kind of law is an anachronism. It smacks of special status for those who from an accident of birth can do something that others cannot. Strange for a country where "all men are created equal."
Then again, it really doesn't matter does it? I mean women and minorites can now be legally elected president, right? How many have been put forward for president? That's right. None.
I hope he's successful.
I really do.
Because then I can move south and become leader of the free world. Muahaha!
The framers of the Constitution were concerned that those born outside the U.S. would be loyal to a foreign king. The chances of that are pretty remote these days.
But, think about this. Prince Henry could move to the U.S. and become a citizen. Then, his brother Prince William could become King of England at the same time Henry becomes President of the United States!
We could end up with a British royal as President! Maybe we should leave this alone.

Who is this "we" you are speaking about? Did you miss my muahahaha?
In all seriousness, the 20-year requirement, or something similar should be applied.
Well, if you must be the leader of the free world, Prince Harry (don't know why I wrote "Henry" before) should be your veep. And, he gets to run when your term is over.

Except for me. America would be lucky to have me.
