I concluded, that states like Texas and Alaska could break away from Washington, to form a more perfect union, one which would look more like the country the founding fathers had envisioned. The progressive elitists government would crumble, as corporations and skilled workers would flock to this new union, where taxes would be low and the people are free to succeed. Socialism would decend on the old country, and Capitolism would run rampant in the new.Joe Bubelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206625896778602035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2555123713188257297.post-72717692923114583772008-11-30T12:43:00.000-05:002008-11-30T12:43:00.000-05:00This is what Obama has planned.

Hatch's amendment would allow anyone who has been a US citizen for twenty years to seek these offices. In the wake of the California recall election, 2003, this proposal is widely seen as an attempt to make California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (naturalized in 1983) eligible for the presidency and is sometimes nicknamed "Arnold bill". However, there are other politicians who were not born as American citizens and therefore would benefit from such an amendment. Notables include Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm, Florida Senator Mel Martinez, and Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao. The text of the amendment reads as follows:<BR/> <BR/>Section 1. A person who is a citizen of the United States, who has been for 20 years a citizen of the United States, and who is otherwise eligible to the Office of President, is not ineligible to that Office by reason of not being a native born citizen of the United States.<BR/><BR/>Section 2. This article shall not take effect unless it has been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States not later than 7 years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
