not likely. Arnold is a naturlized citizen (immigrant), therefore he cannot be President or Vice-President. A constitutional ammendment would b needed.

Why can't naturalized citizens be President. I think that's fucked. Schwarznegger as President would rule.

But as if we'll ever see anyone but the endless parade of middle-aged white clones with the title of President.

Naturalized citizens were, at the time of the constitutional convention, believed that they would always hold a certain loyalty to their country of origin.

As a California Republican, I am certainly looking forward to the november ballot. Hey, I signed up to recall Davis.

Your preaching to the choir. Hell, no one would ever fuck with the US again if the goddamned terminator is the president. :P Seriously though any attempt at changing that now would be seen by the Dems as the Republicans prepping to send a very popular candidate into the election and they would fight it as a matter of short term political strategy. The right wing and the 'hard hat' democrats would fight it because, well, they just don't like immigrants.

Kim Jong Il's office 2008.

Gunfire is heard outside, the rather irritating North Korean leader looks up at the door in alarm. The door flies off the handle. In steps the us president, with an M16 being held one handed.

"You vil co-operate vif US foriegn policy." he says.

"Piss off" says the dictator in Korean.

Arnhuld picks the short man up and breaks off a finger.

"You vil co-operate vif US foriegn policy." he says...

Heh...

How about Robert Partick after Arnold serves his two terms?

Changing the constitution for the sake of one man is a bad idea. 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.

It's funny, as often as people like to think of Arnold as being a stupid musclehead, he's probably the smartest celebrity out there.

I'm sure Arnold could beat Davis.

But, that's not saying much, as with Davis's Approval Rating, he'd lose to a half-eaten sandwich.
