I'm not to keen on having Arnie as president. Remember what happened last time an actor became president??

... Because all actors think, act, and behave EXACTLY THE SAME...

Constitutional law is reserved for the highest principles of the country (one reason why the 18th Amendment was such a rotten idea - it codified into constitutional law something that didn't merit anything more than a statute), and the Constitution should NOT be changed for a single political candidate, or for some silly lark.

If anybody had a better reason for wanting to change the Constitution and allowing naturalized citizens to serve as the president than "I LIEKS TEH TURMIN4T0R!!!1!1!!", it might be a different thing. But a constitutional amendment just so you can have President Ah-nuld? That's just dumb.

By the sounds of it this aspect of your constitution should be changed on principle. The principle being that it is biased against a section of the US population. Its wrong and unfair that a citizen of the US should be discriminated against because of that persons nation of birth.

Weren't any of the first US presidents not born in the US?

No. No president in US history was born outside the US or it's territories.

Yeah, the Soviet Union collapsed

Actually, that wasn't because of Reagan. That was, because communist economies don't work.

And forcing them to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to keep up with us didn't provide a helpful nudge? News flash: Gorebchav undertook economic reforms because the Soviet Union simply couldn't pay to keep up anymore. Then he had to institute political reforms because the Communist old guard blocked his economic reforms. Then the whole thing fell apart because it turned out all that repression was the only thing holding the place together. Sure, the USSR would have fallen apart sooner or later, but it happened a hell of a lot faster because of the Reagan buildup. Say what you want about his domestic policies, but you can't take that away from him.
