Amendment Could Help Make Schwarzenegger President

HeadlineSep 17, 2004

A Republican Congressman from California has introduced a constitutional amendment that would allow foreign-born citizens to run for president. The move by Congressman Dana Rohrabacher is widely seen as an effort to allow the Austrian-born * Arnold Schwarzenegger to run for president. The proposal would need the support of two-thirds of both the House and the Senate and the backing of 38 state legislatures. A recent * Newsweek poll found Republicans viewed the star of the Terminator film series as one the most attractive GOP candidates for the 2008 race.
