AJ Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Truely a bet that can not lose, I was looking at the political markets on betfair, having a browse at the republican candidate for the us presidential election. £234 has traded on Arnold Schwazenegger, there is still money to lay on him. Arnie was born outside of the US so he is prohibited by law from being president. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution states that, "No Person except a natural born Citizen . . . of the United States . . . shall be eligible to the Office of President . . ." It would require an admendment to the constitution why would take years to pass, in short free money if you can wait for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: Politics Looks good, this is from the 'amend for arnie' website “The Constitution is sacred but not perfect. Naturalized citizens have waited 215 years and they’re almost 5% of our population. With over 12 million naturalized Americans, plus all the family and friends who care about them, we think an amendment will be ratified in less than six years.†What was the price anyway?
