I think that the requirement that you be a natural born citizen is absurd in this day and age. Why penalize someone, like say my son, who came to the US @ 5 months over the fact that somebody's who's parents happened to get the right mix of sperm and egg and produced a child here (or in Panama as John McCain's case). I think if you came to this country before 18 or 21 you should be able to lead it. Arnold may be a stretch, came in his 20's I believe, but would he make such a bad President? I may be biased but why should we disqualify a large percentage of Americans who love this country just as much as someone who was born here? There is much to be said that someone who chose to this country may have a unique love of it based on where they came from. It took us 221 years just to live up to the idea that anyone can be president (except women, of course), why exclude someone who was not born here or came here very young?
