Or more precisely: 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. This included George Romney who was born overseas, and possibly excluded Andrew Jackson whom some scholars say was born in route to America. And it includes George Washington who was born before the United States existed. So while Schwarzenegger can become a candidate for the presidency, it would be fruitless, as he cannot become president. Admendment XX appears to say that if he were next in line for the presidency (speaker of the house, for instance), they would have to pass over him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
