absolutely not!!!!!!
the founding fathers, who were vastly more intelligent than anyone we have in charge today, put that stipulation in the constitution for a very good reason. why would you want a foreigner in charge of america? at that point, it would cease to BE america. leave the constitution alone...it was done right the first time around...

No. Are you aware that Australia did that and ended up with a premier who use to be a part of Hitlers regime? Besides Arnold got lucky when he fooled the people of California to get him again a second time. Especially after he screwed them over the first time. He has the highest taxes on the small businessmen and women throughout that state.

I would say no. But if it is done it should not be done for a specific person (Arnold). The change should take effect for people born after the date of the amendment. Changing the Constitution for the benefit of a single person does not make sense.

No, if you open it to Arnold you open to everyone else. While Arnold is a good leader, can you imagine the morons who would want to vote in a Chavez because he give them cheap oil. Thank God the founders of our nation saw past the simple of mindedness people and made provisions to protect our nation.

Absolutely Not! We are fast losing the America the founders set up that gave us this great country.I personally believe we have already given over too many concessions to people not born in this country!

No Arnold. Even if by some fluke the American people put up with such a drastic change in the founding document of this nation they would never put up with you leading it. Take your seat.

No. There would be too much of a danger of the potential president still having too many strong ties to his home country that would skew is judgement.
Arnold is a good actor, but only a so-so leader and governor.

No. The pool of people who are eligible to run for President (35+, native-born, lived in US last 14 years) is large enough.

No, I believe you should be a citizen born in the U.S. to become president.
