Job Posted September 16, 2003 Heh. When I first saw this, I thought it said "Click to enter presidential race". I was beginning to wonder if the presidential election was becoming as promiscuous as the CA governor election. 0 Share this post Link to post

I thought if the foreigner was a legal citizen and lived in the U.S. for so many years, they could run. Personally, I'd rather have a U.S. born president. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted September 16, 2003 Wrong. Both the VP and the P have to be citizens born in the US. Although it raises the interesting question of what happens if both the P and the VP are assassinated, and the next up in line was naturalized. 0 Share this post Link to post

Ichor Posted September 16, 2003 Yes, but there was a reference to him in the movie: Sylvester Stallone: "Hold it! The Schwarzenegger Library?" Sandra Bullock: "Yes, the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library. Wasn't he an actor ?" Stallone: "Stop! He was President?" Bullock: "Yes.

The other proposal, by a bi-partisan group in the house, whose ranks include conservative Representative Darrell Issa, Republican California- who spent more than 1.5 million to put the recall election on the October 7th ballot- would allow anyone who has been a naturalized citizen for 35 years to be eligible to become President. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted September 16, 2003 I thought I remember reading you have to be a US citizen for at least 14 years before being a president, US born or not. 0 Share this post Link to post

Whoever wrote that script was retarded. That implies about fourty ammendments were passed within fifty years (or less depending on when the movie took place). In the past 200 years, only seventeen or so ammendments have been passed (I cant remember the exact ammount). Heh yeah, anyway... 0 Share this post Link to post
