Schwarzenegger Gives a F**k You to Lawmakers

[JokerboyJordan]

Go Arnie, WOOHOO! He is the most badass man ever created, behind Yahtzee and Chuck Norris of course.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

your think about you have to live in the US for at least 14 years to run, you have to be natural born to run

had to make a new bill just to let McCain run, think it was called the true American act or something

Nowhere in the US Constitution does it state you have to have been born in the USA to run fr president. You have to have been a US Citizen for (i think its) 16 years and be over the age of (i think its) 35

That means, if i were to move to the USA today and become a citizen, in 17 years i could potentially run for president or any other political office

I love Schwarzenegger.
And for this, I love him more.

SAME.

I am a recent migrant to california, and this letter-- even without the F**K Y*U, is great.

I'm currently trying to work a similar measure spelling

Spoiler: don't say i didn't warn you

"You just lost the game"

into a scientific journal publication i'm working on. The problem is that I don't have any control over column width, so it will take creative editing of the galleys.

I suppose it would depend on how you interpret this paragraph of the constitution. A very liberal supreme court may well rule that a person who has been a citizen for fourteen years may stand for president even though they were not born over there

 

[Valkyira]

Aaahhh! Arnold Schwarzenegger! Why does it not surprise me
Only he would do something as awesome as that! Someone make a statue out of him!

A really big one

Don't you mean a statue OF him rather than out of his body parts.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

OH MY GOD, THATS HILARIOUS.

There really isn't much to interpret. You can still be a citizen in the US, but not be a resident, due to military service. There's also the jus sanguinis, the legal principle which states that if you are born (or adopted) outside the US to US parents, then you are a US citizen. So it is possible to be a citizen in the US without actually living in the country.

E.g president Obama. Thus proving my point that you dont have to be born in the USA to stand for president. Neither McCain or Obama were born in the USA but both were allowed to stand. So, emfcrackshot for president 2030? Anybody?

Nope! Obama was born in Hawaii, which is a US State. He gets citizenship due to the principle of jus soli. McCain was born on a US Naval Air Base in Panama to parents who were US citizens. Since the Air Base was indeed under US control, McCain was granted citizenship due to both principles of jus soli and jus sanguinis. So both were eligible to run for President.

I believe his confusion came from the fact that you have to have been living in the US for a certain amount of time and been born a citizen. Ergo, you're born a citizen and you leave for 36 years and return, you can't run for president for X years later

 

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

That man should be president, but can't be.

I don't know why America has that small little rule that you have to be born American to be President.

Does it really matter that much?

I mean, look at the founding fathers...

*shrug*
Maybe. But he still had the notion that you could be foreign-born (not on US soil or to US parents) to be the President.

But yes, this is true. If one was to leave for 36 years after birth, then that someone could run for the Oval Office at the age of 50.

That's so gnarly.

Born on colonial soil. What about them?

 

[PhiMed]

Even though the "birthers" are full of crap, I kind of wish they weren't, so that could serve as precedent for Ahnold to run for Pres. When a Republican who's married to a Kennedy can win over the Dems and the Republicans in the most violently partisan state in the country, you've got a winner.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

If that was intentional, than that took some serious balls! Props to the governator!

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Arnold Schwarzenegger ... wordplay skills

Does not compute...

 

[Player 2]

It spells fouck you or is this just a mistake in layout by the escapist?

 

[Grayjack]

It almost spells F**k You, but the second line starts with an "O."
Anyways, still an awesome move from Arnie.
