San Francisco Chronicle Sunday Sept 19:The outcome is far from certain, but the campaign for a constitutional amendment that would allow foreign-born Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to run for president is rolling right along.
The latest push came last week when Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Huntington Beach (Orange County) -- a friend of Arnold's... introduced a constitutional amendment to allow anyone who has been a citizen for 20 or more years to run for the nation's top office. As it is, no one who has immigrated to the United States can be president.
And while Rohrabacher said the change could help all legal immigrants, he grants there's little doubt that "the one name that comes to mind is Arnold.''
Rohrabacher's move mirrors an amendment introduced in the Senate by Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
[...]
Since the story broke, Rohrabacher's office has gotten 60 calls about the amendment -- all of them opposed.
By the way, in addition to the moves in Congress, Bay Area Arnold supporter Lissa Morgenthaler-Jones has also set up a grassroots Arnold for Prez movement. The Web site: www.amendforarnold.com. A quick google on this "grassroots" leader reveals her as a GOP fundraiser and major wheeler-dealer in the biotech industry.
I seem to recall "Arnold's good friend" Rohrabacher as a fellow Bohemian Grover, but can't find a reference.
