The Schwarzenegger Amendment

OK, so NBC has announced what it plans to cover at this year's political conventions. Each convention will get 3 hours. That means that for the Democrats they'll cover Clinton, Edwards and Kerry. For the GOP they'll cover Bush, Cheney and the governor of California. This reminds me that the Senate really should get to passing the proposed constitutional amendment that would allow people who aren't "natural born" to run for president. Or at least I think Sen. Hatch has proposed that. He said he would. Both parties stand to benefit from this since at the moment each has an appealing non-"natural born" governor of a big state (the Democrats have Jennifer Granholm of Michigan). This ban is dated and anti-democratic. Let's take advantage of the opportunity and excise it from the constitution.
