Should the Republicans lose the Presidential election, and find themselves short of candidates, what chance of President Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Would Americans, many of whom idolise Schwarzenegger, wish a change of law allowing foreign-born USA citizens to stand for the highest office?

The 'Governator' has turned himself into a leading figure of the Republican party. He's won elections and his handling of California’s financial crisis has made him a popular figure at previous Republican party’s conventions.

There are several proposals afoot that, if passed, would allow anyone who's been a US citizen for 20 years to run for President. Allowing Schwarzenegger, who became a citizen in 1983, to stand.

Famous Schwarzenegger quotes:

"To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say, Don't be economic girlie men!" – at the Republican convention

"I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."

"Well I hope you have room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine!" (Running Man)

"The c**k isn't a muscle so it doesn't grow in relation to the shoulders, say, or the pectorals. You can't make it bigger through exercise, that's for sure."

John Connor

Not a chance. The policies he's had to use to keep the residents of Granolaland happy aren't going over very well in the OP heartlands.

None. He's Austrian, and therefore not USA native born. It's in the US constitution.

There is a major camapaign underway to change the constitution so that Arnie can run. I think 2012 could be the year for him.

Yes, so I recall.

To be honest he would actually be a fairly 'normal' candidate looking at the political field in the USA of recent years. A frightening thought, i know. He is actually quite a clever guy, which scores him higher than the current President.
