"You vill vote for me or I tear your arm off and shove it up your...earlobe"
Seriously, though. I can't remember my Civics (Principles of Democracy) class from high school, but I think that you have to be a native born American Citizen to be President. May be the only job with that qualification.
Don't think Arnie is.
Anybody know if I'm right about either of those? It's been a long time since I took those classes.
Edited to answer my own question, here's info from one of the online encyclopedias:
"Constitutional Provisions
The members of the Constitutional Convention settled for a single chief executive, chosen not by Congress but by a special body, the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. The president was to serve for four years, with indefinite eligibility for reelection to the office. The president must be a "natural born Citizen" and at least 35 years old."
The part about "indefinite eligibility" for reelection was changed after FDR, I think.
