Would you vote for a Canadian president and vice president in the US elections?

Yes, as long as it was her with him as running mate and I was a registered US citizen.

This is not your musical gift, @Adirondackwannabe ;-)

I don’t think a Canadian can be elected. Can they run anyway? Can Arnold run even if it is illegal for him to be elected?

But no, I wouldn’t vote for them or anybody for that matter. It isn’t worth my time and I think popular vote is irrelevant in the presidential election.

@rebbel That was a fucking great answer.

So, I am assuming we are suspending the rule that our President must be a natural born citizen for the question.

I’m not sure if I would. I think I would consider it. I am fine with changing the rules on a person having to be a natural born citizen to be president, but I have always thought they would have to have been citizens, and have lived in the US for a minimum of 20 years in their adult life, and at least 10 consecutive years before running.

But, let’s say a politician in Canada has turned around some of the same problems we have in America, I might be very interested in that, but I would probably prefer they be a consultant to a citizen of ours who believes in the actions that had been taken in Canada.

You have to be a citizen of the US to run for President.

Sure I would! If I liked their views better than the current candidates, I’d vote for little fucking green men.

I’m confused, can you do that?

@Blackberry No, you can’t. But, I think the question is just a hypothetical.

This is a spoof by two Canadian guys.

No, Michigan hired a Canadian to be the governor, didn’t turn out too well. If a Canadian can’t handle just one state, what makes them think they can handle 50?

@WestRiverrat Your going to base your judgment regarding all Canadian politicians on MI’s experience with Grandholm? Do you think how she governed was directly related to her being Canadian?

@JLeslie When she took office, my cousins in Michigan all had union jobs, by the end of her first term 3 were unemployed, by the second all five are now looking for work. According to them it was always ‘This works in Canada it should work here.’

@WestRiverrat Interesting. My perception was Michigan was strugglling long before she became governor. But, I am not defending her, I don’t know enough about the policies she put in place or her philosophies.

A Canadian would not be able to run for President of the USA.
