MJ...is this how barrak hussein obama will get around the birth certificate thing...appoint a few more liberal fanatic surpremes. The Schwarzenegger Amendment Phil Krone 30 April 2009 cdobs.com Its time to pass a simple constitutional amendment. It should state that any American who has been a citizen for at least twenty years shall be eligible to be President or Vice-President. It should be written in a manner that would not only allow Governor Schwarzenegger to run, but also completely legitimate Barack Obama’s tenure who is being accused of having been born in Kenya by part of the right wing. Frankly, I have read more than I want about this subject and there are some plausible arguments in favor of the African birth concept. Certainly Obama himself is not a credible source since he can’t personally remember where he was born. But there is no doubt that his mother was an American and he is as American as you can get, and having been nominated and elected and occupying the White House he is at the very worst the de facto President. But why leave any doubt. I don’t think Schwarzenegger would run for president, but it would be a good show if he did. In addition there are many other Americans who might be a good President someday who were not only not born in America, but whose parents were not born in America. One in particular who falls in this category is 36 year old Sergey Brin, co founder of Google, who is worth about fourteen billion give or take a billion or two. He was born in Moscow in 1973 and brought to the United States at an early age. Twelve, sixteen, twenty, even 36 years from now when he would be 72 (the age John McCain was when he ran) Brin might want to seek the Presidency. If he gave every voter $30 it would cost him less than 10 billion dollars, not that I’m suggesting he buy the election. But its obvious that he’s bright and talented. I’ve never met him but I’d like to, and I’m grateful to him and his partner Larry Page for the wonderful tool that Google is, despite its inaccuracies and penchant for mischief. Anyway, he and many others including Ahnold should not be denied the ability to lead our nation if chosen by his or her fellow citizens, and it would also be useful to eliminate even the slimmest shadow on Barack Obama’s legitimacy, sort of like taking the oath the second time. In fact as soon as this amendment is passed, he should take the oath a third time, perhaps the fourth of July, 2010.
