If given chance, Arnold might run for president

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he would be interested in running for president if the U.S. Constitution were amended to allow foreign-born citizens to seek the nation's highest office.

During an interview for Sunday's CBS program "60 Minutes," Schwarzenegger said, "Yes, absolutely" when asked if he would like to run and would support such an amendment.

Schwarzenegger, 57, had previously deflected the question.

"I think, you know, because why not? I mean, you know, anyone with my way of thinking, you always shoot for the top," the governor said. "But it's not something that I am preoccupied with.

"I am not thinking one single minute about that because there's so many things I have to do in California, and my promise was to straighten out the mess in California," he said.
