Bush is a good example of what I think the founders were addressing. A lot of people voted for Bush because of his stance on things like a gay marriage amendment but now that he's elected he will not support it.
All too often we elect people who say one thing and do another once they have been elected. The possibility exists that the framers of the Constitution considered that and realized it is damn near impossible to guard against it with a document, but may have figured that eliminating a foreign-born president would at least reduce the chance an anti-american charmer wouldn't get that power.
The whole thing is about Schwarzenegger and how the conservatives would like to see him run, LONG BEFORE he even had the chance to even prove himself as
governor!
Lets see,
Popular actor with ZERO political or leadership experience. Calls himself a conservative so the conservatives gush about how he should be allowed to run for president yet not knowing a THING about his ability or fitness for the office at the time.
Maybe I'm the only one with a problem with this but I can see that as a good reason to have the restriction right there!
