 Bush is the best president US ever had. Why? Because he shows how US is really like. Thank you, George, for the best reality TV, unmasking Hollywoods dream pictures. Maybe the worst thing that could happen is to have a next president who does the same things as Bush, but makes with with better PR, looks genetically healthy and has a nice smile. posted by knn |

Quote: rnie cant be president he wasnt born in the US. there is a rule for that If popular demand is high enough, they will change that rule. Actually this rule has its advantages: The secretary of state is usually a non-US-born. Therefore he is no competitor for the president. posted by knn |

Quote: who knows what kind of losers would get elected. Well, US right now has so little good native scientists that they have to import a lot of them from foreign countries. It's called "brain drain" in those countries. In the year 2000 alone more than 85'700 scientists (mostly from UK and Germany) were imported. US is so dependend on those foreign "brains" that by the actions of the Bush administration (a lot of new immigration restrictions apply) the scientific leadership is in danger. So those what you call "losers" could be the fuel that the US needs. posted by knn |

Quote: As for the 'foreign president' thing, I presume Zero means a president 'not born in the US'. From  Quote: There's no constitutional law against foreign-born nationals becoming Governor of California, of course, but there is certainly one against them becoming President of the United States. Article II, Section 1: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." This presents a problem for any presidential aspirations for Arnold.
But don't worry! Our fine lawmakers have made the occasional stab to remove this limitation out from under us. In July of 2003, Senator Orrin Hatch introduced a proposed amendment to the constitution to allow anyone foreign born and a resident for twenty years to be eligible for the office of President. Hatch and Schwarzenegger are old friends, and it is widely held that this amendment was a favor, should the governorship turn out to be a potential stepping stone as it was for the previous actor. Interestingly enough, Congressman Barney Frank introduced similar legislation in 2000 to remove the natural-born requirement from the presidental rules as well, citing the lack of opportunity given to people who have joined the country and shown throughout their lives to be fine citizens. And even more interesting are the following words between Representative Frank and one of the witnesses during the Judiciary Committee meeting in which the bill was killed, which we'll leave you thinking about: Mr. MCDONALD: All right. I could give what I consider the definitive argument against the proposed amendment in two words: Arnold Schwarzenegger posted by knn |
