Noted recording artist Orrin Hatch introduced a joint resolution to the Senate in July "that would allow anyone who has been a U.S. citizen for 20 years to run for president." While he proposed this before Ahnuld announced his intention to run for governor, you gotta wonder if it's outside the realm of possibility that people in the GOP already knew that he wanted to do it. Anyway... we're back to "Demolition Man": escapist fluff or chilling prophecy?

One of my co-workers, who happens to be Canadian, floated this prospect yesterday at lunch. I asked him if the possibility of a naturalized citizen becoming President made him more or less likely to drop his charade and become a U.S. citizen, thereby unifying his situation with his deep desires, or words to that effect.

"Less," he said.

In other words, the possibility that he himself could be President someday makes him less desirous of being a citizen.
