It seems like actor and former California governor has his eyes set on the White House, Arnold Schwarzenegger is working to change the law so he can mount a 2016 presidential run, the law the Austrian-Born actor is planning on challenging is the one forbids foreign-born citizens from holding the chief executive position.
According to a New York Post report, unnamed sources say the actor "has been talking openly about working on getting the constitutional rules changed."
Schwarzenegger, a Republican, intends to file the necessary paperwork to challenge the rules which some legal experts have said it's not completely clear that courts would enforce the law instead of letting voters decide.
Constitutional amendments require two-thirds majority approval in both the House and the Senate and then must be ratified by at least 38 of the 50 states.
Schwarzenegger, 66, who became a US citizen in 1983, is a former bodybuilding champion who served as California governor from 2003 to 2011 and is known for his starring roles in the Terminator films,Total Recall,Kindergarten Cop and the recent Expendables films.
Schwarzenegger, separated from his wife, Maria Shriver, after admitting to fathering a son with a housekeeper. This scandal can cause opposition from strong family values voters.
If the law is eventually changed, and Arnold is given the opportunity to run for president, it would be awesome to see a Hollywood celeb in the White House!
