A threat to our dignity but not to our sovereignty.
I agree that it was much more relevant when the Constitution was written than it is now, but I just don’t see how the star would like up in order for it to be changed.

I.e., nothing. ![]()
The point is that they’re no longer foreigners.
And Britain used that opportunity to integrate into Europe (even if it made some mistakes with too much socialism economically) rather than be taken over by “Little Englander” reactionary Tories. Plus Britain’s decline (due to its power being based largely on its empire and Britain itself being quite small unlike the United States) was far worse than America’s would ever be.
Well, as soon as the Future King George gets a sibling, his uncle Harry would be available to immigrate to the USA.
Cite?
Which nations, other than the United States, do you have in mind?
Surely the easiest way would be for America to conquer Austria and declare it part of the USA? 
That’s an interesting point. Surely this is not going to happen without the full cooperation of the Austrian people and government (e.g. Austria making a free choice to peacefully request US Statehood), but would that mean that people born in Austria would then become natural-born citizens? How did it work with respect to other states? Were people born in Texas when it was Mexican territory automatically made natural-born US citizens when Texas was admitted to the Union? If Puerto Rico is admitted as a state, would everyone born there automatically become a natural-born citizen? One of the controversies regarding PR is that jus-soli citizenship in PR is based on a Federal statute granting it rather than through the 14th amendment, because PR isn’t really and truly-o part of the US per the “Insular Cases”.
Because if it’s repealed Big Louie will rub my family out.:rolleyes:
Whadda ya mean, “why”? I happen to agree with not letting foreign borns not becoming POTUS. And I don’t like Arnold as a pol regardless of where he was squeezed out. The end.
What I mean is quite simply: Why do agree with not letting someone who is a United States citizen but who was foreign-born becoming President? It’s really not that difficult a question to discern from my post.
Then it should be completely irrelevant to you that the man is naturalized. After all, you object to him personally becoming President.
I can imagine seeing Schwarzenegger in the White House.
Of course, it’ll be Katherine, Christina, Patrick or Christopher.
Did anyone else read the OP title as: "Is there a chance for Schwarzenegger to become pregnant? " No?
He already travelled that road.
It’ll never happen. Assume for the sake of argument that only 1 in a million people would make a good president. That leaves about 250 people. And that’s just counting the people who would make a good one*. Far more can run. There’s no shortage of candidates, even excluding the foreign-born. There’s just not going to be any popular support for such an amendment, unless by some miracle there’s a wildly popular foreign-born politician to drive that support.
*Do you really think most of the clowns who run in the primaries, in either party, comes from that 250? I don’t.
Why do some people like Vaseline on toast?
I don’t like the idea that folks born somewhere else can get elected to anything, much less elected President. That’s my position on the issue. I’m fairly certain I don’t have to explain nor justify it.
Back to the OP, the chances of Schwarzenegger becoming POTUS are less than zero.
Like when the 22nd Amendment was proposed it included a clause to exempt the current occupant of the White House, if the clause prohibiting foreign born individuals from becoming POTUS were repealed it may very well include a clause prohibiting any foreign born alive at the time of repeal from being eligible.
Even if it didn’t, by the time such a change to the Constitution were ratified Arnold would be so old (or dead) he’d be politically irrelevant.
Plus there is the fact that RINO’s like him usually can’t win national office as evidenced by Romney, McCain, Dole, etc…
He already did!
A serious question: Could a state (like California) or The Congress pass a law that defines Arnold Schwarzenegger to be a natural born citizen of the United States, since that is actually never very well defined anywhere, insofar as I know? And then Arnold could run for president using that law as legal cover if it ever got brought to court?
If we let foreigners become President, why would King George need to send a spy? He could just run himself.
No he didn’t. That movie never happened. Don’t ever bring this up again.
But, they always have a better chance than any True Conservative. You do understand that, don’t you? Romney was the one and only Pub in the field last year whom Obama would have had to work to beat.
