Schwarzenegger: Let foreign-born seek White House

He says longtime citizens should get to run for president

Arnold Schwarzenegger, making his Sunday talk show debut as governor, said that he and other foreign-born citizens should be eligible to run for the White House and that President Bush can carry California in November if he does more to help the state.

In order to make this possible, 3/4 of the Senate, 3/4 of the US Legislature, and 38 states have to ratify it.  As of now:

Several measures have been introduced in Congress, including a joint resolution by Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., and Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, which proposes a constitutional amendment that would extend eligibility for the presidency to immigrants who have held U.S. citizenship for at least 20 years.

A middle-of-the-road Republican with connections to the Kennedys that John Kerry could only dream about.  Don’t underestimate Arnie.
