The Founding Fathers in their wisdom put this requirement in our constitution.

We would not only open ourselves up to the possibility of having a President with sympathies to another nation, we would also run the risk of having a mole planted by a hostile power becoming the Commander in Chief. With the documented history of Soviet infiltration of our government in the Cold War this is a real possibility.

I for one, would strongly oppose any attempt to ammend the Constitution for this purpose.

Madeline Albright is a communist and Arnold comes from a facist state. The last person we need as POTUS is someone born in Austria. Austria my dear lord, the citizens of that country are lacking in just about every honorable trait a human being can have. Yes, we need to judge countries and people by their past and until they are able to prove through time they have changed we must be wary.

I heard on a radio talk show that 80% of Americans are against altering the Constitution to elect Arnold and 70% are against altering it for anybody. I sure hope that the Republican Party is not going to be behind such a move. This is the worst thing they could do to the Party and the Country. The Constitution should not be changed for anyone, especially someone that is married to a Kennedy.

I am from California and I voted for Arnold, but I would have voted for anyone that I thought could get Davis out of office. Kerry was trying to follow Arnold's footsteps by being elected President as the "Anybody but Bush" candidate. I'm sure Arnold gave him some pointers on one of their little cozy discussions they had.

As a Californian, I supported Arnold in the recall. I have always been impressed by how successful he has been in everything he has tried. So far, I think he has done well as Governor and expect great things of him.

However, there are other good people who can run for president. We should not change the constitution for one man.

Arnold knows the rules and he plays by them. I think he would be a great Senator after he straightens out my native state. I am not sure Feinstein is defeatable but Boxer just might be. If he can get the financial mess straightened out in California (which used to rank 6th in the world listing for economies- above most (ALL)European countries) He will stand a great shot at the Senate.

Since the next election will field "fresh faces" (Bush & Cheney will not be candidates), and the next 4 years promise to force some hard looks at some important issues, I'd not put much money on anybody being a probable candidate on either side ... including Hillary, if things go the way they look like they might.

Which would be very refreshing for a change. Smile
