now coming to talk about presidents.....friend,,what gh15 says is that the amendement will be that people who been in us under law for 20 yeas or over and are american citizens! will be able to run for president,,it is already supported around but bi party agreement need to be made for it to get amendment sttatus,,
the main point is the person running must be able to be a citizen that been in america and its his home for 20 years or more,,,
Okay, thanks for clarifying that – I understand where you’re coming from now.
The “20-year citizenship before eligibility” is much better than simply changing it so that anybody from any country can run for prez, which is what I initially thought you were predicting.
Still, those are some awfully big changes that need to be made.
You mentioned the necessity of bi-partisan agreement. I believe that is the biggest obstacle. That is my biggest gripe with partisan politics – they no longer represent the people. It’s just a power struggle between the parties.
Republicans will be for it because it would mean Arnie
(even if he’s an indep.) could run. The Liberals will never allow it until it either benefits them the same way, or they have an equally powerful opponent. They know there’s no competing with a President John Matrix.
