Why stop there? Why not just abandon all pretense and elect Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz
or Salem bin Laden?
On the other hand, such legislation would enable Jennifer Granholm to run.
You know, one thing that embarrasses me terribly as an American is the fact that
anonymous citizens of nations in the Mideast speak English much better than our
appointed president. Arianna and Arnold sound like gifted, native-English
orators next to Dubya's lizard-lipped elocution.
But, while I'm at it, there's no law preventing Bill Clinton from becoming
President again. He merely can't be *elected* to that position. If he happens
to be the VP, and the President dies or steps down, then Bill could fill the
bill once again. Theoretically, there's no limit to the number of terms he (or
any other president) could serve!
Dave!
