Arnolds parents were also NOT American citizens. If they were he could be president. I am not confusing anything. mccookgazette.com No person except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States. There's a pretty big word in their that takes the steam out of their argument, I've put in all caps to bring it to attention. That little word, OR, is pretty big in this phrase. The first part of the statement clearly says "No person except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States. Just to clear it up a little more later in the section it clarifies what the citizen part means when it states "... and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." So right there, Barack Obama is eligible to be President.

Arnold's parents were Austrian. I think he is a naturalized citizen. That is why he cannot be rpesident. >>Hugh Phillips:To: koan who wrote (542775) 1/11/2010 3:49:49 PM From: Hugh D. Phillips Read Replies (1) of 542960 Arnold cannot be president because he was born in Austria. He freely admits this. The constitution specifically said that only a natural born citizen can be president, nothing said about 14 years. I think you may be confusing the requirements for congress.>> Schwarzenegger was born in Thal, Austria, a small village bordering the Styrian capital Graz, and was christened Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.[5] His parents were the local police chief Gustav Schwarzenegger (1907 – 1972), and his wife, Aurelia Jadrny (1922 – 1998). His father served in World War II with the German Army as a Hauptfeldwebel of the Feldgendarmerie and was discharged in 1943 after contracting Malaria. They were married on October 20, 1945 – Gustav was 38, and Aurelia was a 23-year-old widow with a son named Meinhard. According to Schwarzenegger, both of his parents were very strict: "Back then in Austria it was a very different world, if we did something bad or we disobeyed our parents, the rod was not spared."[6] He grew up in a Roman Catholic family who attended church service every Sunday.[7]
