Birther Report

Excerpt:
Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked on Opie Radio if there's going to be a constitutional amendment to allow him to be able to run for POTUS. Schwarzenegger, knowing he's not eligible, asked, wouldn't that be great?! He said it would be a great idea noting the Article II "natural born Citizen" requirement is a roadblock for him.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria to non U.S. Citizen parentS.

Many of you have asked, “What is the text of your amendment?”
The answer is, we don’t have one because there are so many versions floating around Congress already!
Since the Civil War, there have been more than 30 attempts to amend the Constitution for naturalized citizens. Some Constitutional scholars have argued that the 14th Amendment, which made slaves into citizens, also gavefull citizen privileges to all naturalized citizens --- including the right to be President of the United States.
Despite that argument, over 12 million naturalized citizens still can’t be President today.
So we’ve listed below the various amendments that are floating around the House and the Senate at the moment. (Note that #6 is not a Constitutional amendment but an attempt to redefine “naturalized citizen.” Constitutional scholars think that’s a dorky idea because you can’t change the Constitution merely by legislation. Such a law, if passed, would have to go to the Supreme Court --- and they would promptly overturn it as unconstitutional!)
Note --- unless you’re a ConLaw addict, reading through these amendments can make your eyes glaze over.
Just so you know, we would accept and support any of them.
But to be honest, we’re not wild about #3 (which requires 35 years of citizenship). That version is just fine for naturalized citizens who were brought here as children. But it doesn’t do much for foreign-borns who actually got off their rumps and emigrated here in their 20s or 30s….
……which includes that Schwarzenegger guy who caused us to get off our rumps to start this!
