Foreigners should be able to run for POTUS!
That's not my opinion....it's what REPUBLICAN Arnold Schwarzenegger says! How ironic, isn't it that he's out there stumping for Mr mcCain!
A while back, Arnold Schwarzenegger said he thougth foreign born citizens should be able to run for POTUS!
Schwarzenegger: Let foreign-born seek White House
He says longtime citizens should get to run for president
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.
The Austrian-born former bodybuilder, in the capital for his first meeting with fellow governors, said he has not thought about running for president. The Constitution says only natural-born U.S. citizens are eligible for the country's highest office.
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."
