I have to agree with honeychile about the wife being born in America as well as the President...........I cant explain it but it just bothers me or would bother me if a non-american born President and First Lady were in the White House..........I just have a problem with that sorry.....

Well, it's impossible for a non-american born President to be in the white house, anyway. I agree with that one. As far as the first lady, I feel like as long as she's a citizen and has been in the US for a considerable amount of time, it's fine. But I understand why you wouldn't want someone who wasn't American-born as first lady, too.
Is Kerry's wife non-American born?? Is that why this conversation came up? I know this is his second wife, but I didn't remember seeing anything about her being from another country.

Teresa Heinz Kerry was born in Africa, in Mozambique.
As I said before, I had the same problem when Sen. John Heinz was interested in the White House.
James, have you forgotten the much touted "Two for the price of one!" campaign?

Did once when as a Democrat that I had to vote a certain way. I said NO WAY! . Told me I would have to go immediately to Election Office which i did and changed to Republican. Thinking about redoing as indep!! 
The Two Parties we have now just plainly suck!

A Major change is needed!!!

Was she not born a citizen? I think the foreign born law applies to those as a non-citizen doesn't it?
IF Honeychile is born to her american Parents while oversease, Honeychile can still be president right?

I'm a democrat (I know, you're shocked!) but I voted for a republican candidate for Illinois governor once -- George Ryan instead of the democratic candidate Glen Poshard. I don't remember the exact reason, but I do recall thinking that Poshard was more conservative than Ryan, especially concerning gun control and abortion. Of course I think what George Ryan did with the death penalty was wonderful, so I'm happy I voted for him.

No Arnold has no power to change something like that. Another politician introduced it an Arnold said he thinks he'd support it.

If Laura Bush was born in another country would some of you still have a problem of her being first lady?

LOL, it would be easy for people to say "Yes! I'd still have a problem!" since it's not the case.

If the Republicans ever became those things, I'd be a Democrat then, or if Hillary converted, I might leave.

I think that's right. As I recall, if you have at least one American parent, no matter where you're born, you are an Ameican citizen with all of the rights of any American.

I don't see the big deal about a First Lady who was born outside of the United States.

Boy, oh boy am I with you on that one!
(We WILL see Hillary...and sooner than we want. God help us.)
I might convert if the Dems quit supporting issues, that for me, are morally repugnant.
Honestly, if the Dems were more toward the center, I could easily change if I was unimpressed with the Republican candidate or the Republicans quit helping those that REALLY need help!
