BURBANK, Calif. – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would love to run for president — if he could.

California's actor-turned-governor was born in Austria and the U.S. Constitution prevents foreign-born citizens from holding the nation's top job.

Jay Leno asked Schwarzenegger on "The Tonight Show" Thursday if he would make a White House run if the law was changed.

Schwarzenegger replied, "Without any doubt."

But that's not likely in the foreseeable future. Any amendment to the Constitution must be approved by two-thirds majorities in the House and Senate, and then be ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures.

Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear says the governor doesn't think that will happen.

I remember stirrings of this when Schwarzenegger was first elected. IT wont happen, especially not in such a nationalistic environment...

I heard him. I like the fact that he is trying but the way my homestate is suffering right now....I wouldn't support it.

ill just kick him (arnold) in the face and be done with it all!

I know it won't happen. There are too many Jews in the USA,and they recall Arney's stating that the man he admires most of all is Adolf Hitler. The fool actually said it on camera. Americans will posthumously elect Ted Kennedy before Arnold gets within a thousand miles of even being able to run.

Proof?

The OP isn't exactly true. It would be the same as passing an ammendment. a simple majority in both houses and the Prersident could sign it, which Obama wont, so that is why they say the 2/3rds. With 2/3rds they can override the veto.

Proof: Back in the 1970s Arney made a muscle building biographic movie called Pumping Iron. Rent it. Watch it. Notice when he is asked who he admires most...and he says: "Adolf Hitler."
