Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger would like to get the federal Constitution amended to allow someone foreign-born (i.e., himself) to run for president. On "Meet the Press" on Sunday, the two-term Republican governor invoked the late Tim Russert to do his bidding. Asked by Tom Brokaw about his recollections of the host, who died earlier this month, Schwarzenegger said [1],

"Several times, and he always did great interviews with a lot of humor, tough questions, but we had a great time, and I really miss him, I have to say that. And he was - I remember when I ran for governor, he called me, and he says, 'If you make that, if you win, then I will take care of the rest.' And I said, 'What are you talking about?' And he says, 'I will get you to run for president. I will make sure that we change the Constitution.' Well, it never happened, but anyway, I miss him very much."
