Why could Arnold Schwarzenegger not run for the Presidential role?

Arnold Schwarzenegger had a great deal of experience in the realms of politics as well, and that was one of the many reasons several Americans wanted him to become the Oresite. However, he could not take part in the elections. Arnie was always well aware of the art of gimmicks and stunts, ever since he became the Governor of the Western American state.

To add to this, according to the Constitution, it is important that in order to run for the position; the person is not just brought up, but had been born in America. Schwarzenegger had been a citizen of the country since 1983, but he was born in Thal, Austria. This did not allow him to run for the position. He even stated in an interview, “If I’d been born in America, I would’ve run. Because now? This was a very good time to get in the race”. What do you think about the Austrian Oak as a politician?
