ObieX, b) and c) are in place for good reason: age and length of residency have a bearing on a candidate's ability to be president. How does being born in this country have any bearing on that whatsoever? The truth is that it does not. I'll fix it for you:
America is not another country. America is America. If we wanted to be presided over by someone from another country we would still be Brittish. America will remain in the hands of the American people - the constitution has seen to that. People who were raised in our culture and understand it's people; their wants, needs, desires, hopes and dreams.
It's as simple as that, why does location of birth have any bearing?
And to those that complain about Arnold....IF he manages to do a good job in California, then please tell me what is the problem with letting him run for president? No, let me say it again, if he does a STELLAR job as governor, then why not let him run for president. As unlikely as that may be, I don't think it fair to Americans to deny them the opportunity to elect a capable president.
