    While I like Arny a lot more than anyone else I have seen looking for the position please, no more celebrity politicians.

        As of now, yes. However, there are a lot of people in the US who would like to change the stipulation that naturalized citizens can not be president. So a push for this could pass, especially for someone like Schwarzenegger who is a republican and the right kind of immigrant.

          That would require a constitutional amendment, and if you think the country has any chance of passing any of those with polarization as high as it is, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

            At this moment? No. However things were not always like this and won’t always be like this. If someone like Schwarzenegger was around in the 70s or 80s I could definitely see it, as the idea was popular then as well.

      I agree that we don’t need more celebrities, but he has more government experience than the last guy. Not an endorsement, just showing he cleared the incredibly low bar.
