2Schwarzenegger Amendment

It's Sunday. In Blogland, nobody cares much about anything. [This is off the subject (Kathy will be lecturing me), but the word "Blogland" just reminded me of the book Flatland (Edwin Abbott is the author, maybe) -- not that you should read it, I was just reminded of it, that's all]

Anyway, Arnold Schwarzenegger apparently has a fan in Orrin Hatch, Republican senator from Utah, who introduces into his Judiciary Committee for approval a proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:

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.

Arnold's U.S. citizenship papers just turned 20 years old.

Some Dems, too, like the idea of the amendment because the very telegenic, but Canadian, governor of Michigan, one Jennifer Granholm, might make a good candidate one of these days.

Granholm is from Canada?!? I live in this state and I didn't even know that.
Huh.
