Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger could very well imagine a US presidency. “I see so clearly that I could win this election,” he says.

• Arnold Schwarzenegger seems to be flirting with the office of US President.

• “I see so clearly how I could win this election,” said the 75-year-old.

• However, since the Austrian was born outside the USA, he is not allowed to stand in the election.

Will the Terminator become US President after becoming Governor of California? If it were up to Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, he would resign immediately as a candidate for the highest political office throw in the ring in the US. According to “Entertainment Weekly”, the former bodybuilder and action star once again said in an interview with CNN journalist Chris Wallace that he could “of course” imagine the presidency.

“I think the field was wide open in 2016. And I think the field is now open too, »said the 75-year-old about his possible chances of winning. “Think about it,” said the native Austrian to Wallace, “there isn’t really one person who could unite everyone.” His candidacy is a so-called “no-brainer”: “Throw me in, I see so clearly that I could win this election.” He is a good candidate because Americans are looking for someone who can ease the growing political tensions in the country.

That’s why Arnold Schwarzenegger can’t become US President

“Like me and California, when I ran for governor, it was clear that people were looking for a new answer, not a right wing or a left wing. But for someone who can bring the nation together and does not see the other party as an enemy, »explains Schwarzenegger. There are “simply so many things” that must and could be done: “Yes, we can do it.”

Schwarzenegger served as governor of the US state of California from 2003 to 2011 and ran for the Republicans at the time. During his tenure, he made himself popular because he largely refrained from party skirmishes and also gathered supposed political opponents of the Democrats around him. He has toyed with the idea of ​​running for the US presidency for many years. However, the US Constitution has so far thwarted his plans: A US President not only has to have US citizenship – like Schwarzenegger – but also be born on US territory.
