Foreigners As President.

Laws are being debated right now and in the future any naturalized citizen of 20 years in the US can be eligable for presidentcy.
Is this a good thing?
Let me start the debate now by saying NO...
Presidents of the US should citizens from birth.

Ummm..... i'm still undecided upon this.
I'm not sure how much I'd like a foreigner in charge of our Armed forces, but then again, I KNOW i'm not happy with Bush in charge of our armed forces.
Ehhhh......
Initially, I say no, but I get a yessy aftertaste.

How much worse can we get than people who are born into money or people who marry into money? At least immigrants who have made it in this country generally know the value of hard work - as opposed to the two clowns we have currently squabbling over the reigns of power.
-------------------- To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.' Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence. Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains. Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

Arnold Swarzenegger would suck as president. He seems like a mad man.

He's a shitty governor, but no worse than Gray Davis. My parents are staunch Democrats and even they hated Davis.

Actually, arnold doesn't seem all that bad, fiscally conservative, socially liberal .
I don't see too many problems, but again, I say, I'm not sure how I would like a foreigner in charge of our armed forces.

Personally, I just hope that if we have an immigrant president that he doesn't use that same Niel Diamond song in his campaign that Michael Dukakis used.

That would be retarded. I can only hope the majority of the American people are not that dense.

Ahnold would be a much better president than Bush. But that's not really saying much.

That I'm not so sure about. He may be slightly better, but not a whole lot.

I don't know if he could get elected, but I'm sad to say that I wouldn't be too surprised if he got a sizable proportion of the votes, simply because he's "Ah-nold"...

Better than our current president getting elected because he has the same name as his dad.
