Report: Schwarzenegger intends to challenge law and run for president

Actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is working to change the law so he can mount a 2016 presidential run...The...New York Post...quotes...unnamed sources who say the actor, who’s...promot(ing) his latest movie...intends to file the necessary paperwork to challenge the rules.

The U.S. Constitution forbids foreign-born citizens from holding the chief executive position, but some legal experts have said it’s not completely clear that courts would enforce the law instead of letting voters decide...The Austrian-born Schwarzenegger, who became a U.S. citizen in 1983, said three years ago in a “Tonight Show” interview that he would run for president if the law were changed.

Schwarzenegger...served as California governor from 2003 to 2011 and is known for his starring roles in the Terminator films...

Since even Ted Cruz has more sense than to make such an announcement while the smoke of the latest GOP shutdown is clearing, I'm presuming that this is a publicity attempt for your new movie. But you're serious, all I have to say is that between your love child, what you said about Hispanics, and admitting that you "never thought about" getting a motorcycle license, your campaign is off to a GREAT start!

Governor Brown, who is presently trying to clean up his mess, would disagree. I can't imagine what his Presidency would bring us other than a few laughs and a lot of scandal. Also I don't think Carnival Cruise would let him push him aside.
