"California's actor-turned-governor was born in Austria and the U.S. Constitution prevents foreign-born citizens from holding the nation's top job."

NOTHING said about being born to two U.S. citizen parents.

Why is this example of Arnold being kicked around right now?

I seem to recall another Austrian-born leader who went on to be the head of another country, didn't work out too well.

If Ahnold could run, he wouldn’t survive the primaries.

Well... current POTUS-status sort ‘of shows that where one was born or where one’s parents were from does not matter much, so...

Possibly the worst governor of all time. He’s actually made Gray Davis look pretty good in comparison.

Huey Long may have been the most corrupt governor, but when it comes to sheer, stupid incompetence, Arnold has them all beat.

The general (voting) public has been persuaded to think that “natural born” means EITHER “born here” OR “two U.S. parents” when it’s really BOTH conditions that must be met.

If McCain had been born here, BO would have looked REALLY “foreign” by comparison, and he would never have been elected.

Thank God almighty that he can’t!

I think the American people are just stupid enough to elect him if he were eligible.

What’s this thing called a “Constitution” that they mention? Nobody seems to have heard of it. Why would it stand in the way? It’s only a nuisance piece of paper, I understand.

His big mistake was not resigning when his proposals were voted down.

He should have said, “OK< Collie-fornians, you’re on your own”.. instead he resorted to being a girlie-man....too bad.

Why doesn’t he say he was born in Hawaii? What is anyone going to do about it?

Because the media would like someone more RINO-y than Romney to promote in the GOP primaries.
