"The Terminator is from the future, therefore he wasn't born 35 years ago, therefore he can't be president."

Spin is fun; I can see why people do this professionally!

[Tribble]

Robocop: "Dead or alive, you are coming with me! Your move, creep!"
Terminator: "Come with me if you want to live."

"Roboplicans would have you believe that their candidate is the best choice for president. Americans know better. Come join the Terminator and help America live by voting in 2020!"

Lord Dredd for President.

At least he acknowledges he's a monster.

[Highlord Laan]

Judge Dredd for President. His devotion to the law and the protection of the innocent is literally unquestioning.

[Shroom Man 777]

If Dredd bows out of the Presidential race, the future administration can either give him the Attorney Generalship or a nomination for Supreme Court justice.

[Simon_Jester]

Honestly, I'd back Judge Dredd for a Supreme Court nomination just as soon as he was able to pass an exam in American constitutional law.

Because that's a guy who takes promises (and rules) really seriously.

[Shroom Man 777]

MegaCity One is in the US though.

[Simon_Jester]

MegaCity One is pretty clearly a loooot of constitutional amendments away from the modern US.

So the place being in the US? That just means he was born here, and is therefore actually eligible to be president.

[Shroom Man 777]

Hey, both the Terminator and Robocop are also made in the USA AFAIK. Except probably reboot Robocop since it did have a nice bit where he was made in a Chinese factory.

[Eulogy]

To get back on topic...

56) A Terminator does not rely on organic internal organs to be able to function. Among other things, this means it will never need diapers or be full of shit.
57) A Terminator does not care about allergies, smog, smokers, car exhaust, or fragrance sensitivities. This makes it both more friendly in workplaces and less bothersome in urban environs.
58) It is a bad idea to attempt to take a Terminator as a hostage.
59) A Terminator will actually be capable of understanding medicine, science and math. This means it is far less likely to take action that hobbles any of these vital fields studied in America.
60) A Terminator does not care if a nuclear power plant is built in its back yard.
61) Among the last bunch of presidents the US has had, a Terminator is the best role model among them.
62) A Terminator is capable of understanding why the War On Drugs is a futile endeavor that causes much unnecessary harm.
63) A Terminator is not afraid of going to Hell upon destruction. Therefore, religious extremists are not able to scare said Terminator into complying with their wishes.
64) A Terminator does not require health care, and therefore the health industry does not have a rich politician to bilk lots of money from.
65) A Terminator will not possess any hubris.
66) A Terminator will not have any superstitions. Multiple sixes in a row is not even noticeable to it.
67) Being machines, Terminators do not requie help when performing calculations.
68) Terminators are capable of processing large amounts of paperwork without complaint or mechanical error.
69) Terminators are not offended by sex or nudity.
70) Terminators can frustrate and mire their opponents with unfeeling cold logic. They also are not prone to being blackmailed.

Two words: Myron Stark. After a temporal error resulted in its arrival in 1920 and the death of the person responsible for the construction of Pico Tower, the location of its intended target in 2010, this Terminator started its own construction company to ensure the tower's construction, where it hired minority laborers, treated them fairly and equally, and paid them double the going wages. Sure, it was all so it could kill a dude in the future, but sometimes the means justify the ends.

71) As a Terminator does not have family, it is unlikely to engage in nepotism.
72) Terminators do not have a sex drive, and thus will not make creepy comments about underage girls/their daughters.

[FancyDarcy]

An actual terminator would require heavy guard, as they are not actually invincible. Assuming we are talking about the original terminators, they have been shown to be killed by anti-materiel rifles rather easily. A small IED on the road or competent homemade bomb WILL destroy it, or at least severely cripple it.
