Originally posted by FacemanWell, after looking a little further, I found Mazie Hirono, who was just elected this past November, Ciro Rodriguez, and the Representatives of Puerto Rico and American Samoa.
Of the top of my head i think Mel Martinez, would make one hell of a President.....
And Mel Martinez? Please, that's a classic religious right neocon, and most of Americans are sick of them at this point.

Originally posted by FacemanMy position is that it's a dramatic move to amend such a crucial part of the Constitution. When the nation is serious about it, it's fine and dandy. And it should be addressed for the right reasons, not Arnold Schwarzeneggar

Originally posted by FacemanI'm not talking about you when I say Ahnuld is a bad idea, I'm referencing the fact that this subject came up after he was elected Governor, and no one else has been mentioned on the public level.

I believe that law was to prevent a foreign Dictator, King, General, etc. from becoming President and changing the political course of the USA with their own ideolgy.

You make a very good pointMy point, however, is that this whole discussion is being brought up because of Gov. Schwarzeneggar. He was a sucky governor in his first term, and he would never win the nomination as a Republican.
There should be substantial national interest and a good reason to do so before we amend the Constitution so dramatically. And Arnold Schwarzeneggar is not a good reason. Come back when they have a better candidate, I say.
Well what if a good candidate shows up? Would that mean a good person that people like and respect can't become president?
The fact is any law that prevents anybody from creating a political party or becoming the leader of a nation limits democracy.
There is no law like that over here, it just never happened (yet). We do however outlaw some political party's and I can't entirely agree with that either.
Still point stands, in a democracy if the majority feels one way then their wish should be followed. And if their wish is to allow a foreigner to become president then that should be done.
