p> PRESIDENT ARNOLD br> Re: George Neumayr's The Arnold Amendment : /p>

George Neumayr writes: "The framers' reasons for prohibiting foreign-born presidents remain perfectly valid. Perhaps they are even stronger in post-9/11 America. Has the threat of 'undue foreign influence,' as they put it, passed? No, it has probably intensified in the American people's mind."

p>To clarify for any skeptics, don't think of this as the "Arnold Amendment." Close your eyes, take a whiff, and visualize the "Soros Amendment." br> -- Dan Martin br> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania /p>

While I normally agree with the ideas presented in The American Spectator, I must respectfully disagree with the commentary by George Neumayr "The Arnold Amendment."

p>My nine-year-old adopted Chinese daughter (and yes she is a citizen) has already said that she is going to be the first woman president of the United States. This is a kid that instead of watching the St. Louis Cardinals in the recent baseball playoffs wanted to watch the debates. Her best comment was when Kerry was talking about abortion (which being adopted is very important to her) -- "Dad, why doesn't he (Kerry) answer the question?" I cannot explain the logic of why she can't run for president, but her children (prayerfully many years in the future) could run. br> --
