Californians will soon see advertisements urging them to help give Schwarzenegger and other foreign-born citizens the chance to run for president.
The cable television ads, set to being running Monday, are from a Silicon Valley-based group that wants to amend the U.S. Constitution, which limits the presidency to people born in the United States. Schwarzenegger was born in Austria but became a U.S. citizen in 1983.
"You cannot choose the land of your birth. You can choose the land you love," Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones says in the ads.
She is a San Francisco Bay area mutual fund manager and major Schwarzenegger campaign donor who is helping pay for the ads and created a companion Web site.
Schwarzenegger, 57, has said he would consider running for president if the Constitution allowed but has not pushed for a constitutional change.
The TV ads mark the first significant attempt to build public support for an amendment. While polls show Schwarzenegger remains popular with voters, the idea of a constitutional change is not.
Four proposed amendments are circulating in Congress, but none has advanced. Constitutional amendments require congressional approval and ratification by 38 states.
Kalifornian osavaltion budjettivaje on kasvanut entisestään ja politiikan asiantuntijat pitävät tilannetta tikittävänä aikapommina. Jutun muita herkkupaloja on mm. se kuinka Arnold suuren pomon tyyliin polttaa isoja paksuja sikaareja kuvernöörin toimistossaan ja vaatii toimiston henkilökuntaa salaamaan tiukasti pahimmat kämmit joita tulokkaan ensimmäisellä kaudella on tehty julistaen kuitenkin samaan aikaan "avoimen tiedotuksen" politiikkaa jne.

Jos laki ulkomaalaisten oikeudesta hakea presidentin virkaa menee läpi niin epäilemättä kuvernaattori on vahvoilla seuraavissa vaaleissa! :lol2:
