I would've done the same. Or... you can imagine where it goes from here, so I'll save the space.

No, he wouldn't be eligible for the Presidency. As a matter of fact, I don't think that a non-native born citizen can be V.P., either.

If a non-native born citizen should happen to be the person next in line for the presidency (say that Arnold was the Speaker of the House, and Bush & Chaney died simultaneously), the non-native born person would be skipped, with the next person in the line of succession assuming the Presidency (the next in succession after Speaker is President Pro Tempore of the Senate).

Even if a non-native born citizen can be V.P., no party would want to risk putting him on the ticket. If the President would die, then the presidency would skip over the V.P. to the Speaker, who very well could be of a different political party than the President's administration.

At what point does Condie get it?

She's 5th in line:

1. President Bush
2. V.P. Cheney
3. Speaker Hastert
4. Pro Tem. Ted Stevens (the grouchy senator from Alaska)

After this, succession goes to the Cabinet Secretaries, with the cabinet's succession position determined by the order in which the cabinet post was created. Secretary of State was the first post created, Sec. of Homeland Security is the latest and would be last in line of succession (though there's a bill pending that would move Homeland Security up the depth chart, placing it right after Sec. of Defense. in the succession order).

5. Condi Rice, Sec. of State.
6. John Snow, Sec. of Treasury
7. Rumsfeld, Sec. of Defense
8. Alberto Gonzalez, Atty. Gen.


For the rest of the list, go here

I know. I see that you voted for Arnold as Governor. and you'll even admit it

[Japher]

I voted for Bush too...

it wasn't what I thought

[Zkribbler]

S'okay....I voted for McGovern.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Yeah, WTF is going on recently? Has Bush stopped taking the crazy wackjob right-wing pills?

[Ted Striker]

I agree with your assesments KH

It's sad that most of us support him in 3 out of 4 and he's not getting support from the other idiots in charge.

THE CONGREES IS NOT SUPPORTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

[Ted Striker]

I also liked today how Rice said, "there have been thousands of mistakes in Iraq."

wtf honest realism?????

[Imran Siddiqui]

This honesty thing from this administration is seriously freaking me out!

Are they going to say, "Yeah, there will be a Civil War in Iraq" next?!

[MrFun]

The introduction of honesty and frankness among our top political leaders will be so shattering, that it will permanently alter the orbit planes of our planets in our solar system.
