Peter:

You said the Following; "AT LEAST HE WON'T BE PUMPING THE WHITE HOUSE UP."

Well, Peter . . . I've got some BAD NEWS for you . . .

On July 10, 2003 Senator Orrin Hatch introduced Senate Joint Resolution 15, whereupon the bill summary states:

"Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to make eligible for the Office of President a person who has been a United States citizen for 20 years."

Here is the text of the whole bill, of which there is an identical version in the House of Representatives:

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES July 10, 2003 Mr. Hatch

JOINT RESOLUTION

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to make eligible for the Office of the President, a person who has been a United States citizen for 20 years.

Resolved by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), that the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States:

Amendment XXII Sections 1 and 2:

Section 1: A person who is a citizen of the United States, who has been for 20 years a citizen of the United States, and who is otherwise eligible to the Office of President, is not ineligible to that Office by reason of not being a native born citizen of the United States.

Section 2: This article shall not take effect unless it has been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three- fourths of the several States not later than 7 years from the date of its' submission to the States by the Congress.

Peter, if you still believe that Arnold will not be pumping the White House up, you need to go and watch a movie called DEMOLITION MAN --- the 1993 film starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.

In that film, passing references are made to the "Swarzenegger Presidential Library." Yes, the film does take place in AmeriKa!!

Sorry Peter, but THIS is THE TRUTH . . .
