Title: Arnie for Prez
Post by: bounder on September 07, 2003, 12:31:57 PM: OK, I know he wasn't born in the USA, but fo rthe sake of argument, what would it take to get that clause removed so he can run for Prez?

A constitutional amendment.

I'm assuming it's quite difficult to amend the constitution. Maybe I'm hoping. Although Arnie does seem to be pro-choice, anti-assault weapons and big on kids. Maybe he's just what the US needs, then again maybe not.

I think you confused Arnie and Chuck Norris (or a mix of Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stalonne :))

IIRC, it takes 2/3 majority in both the Senate and House of Representatives, then ratification of the amendment by 3/4 of the states legislatures as well. So yes, it's pretty difficult.

Hopefully a Republican candidate - as then the Rep's have a reason to vote yes, and anything that 'tears down walls of discrimination' is something that no Democratic candidate would dare vote against if they wanted to keep their job.
