Well, he's their governor now. If he screws everything up, then whose fault is that--those who voted for him on the recall. Of course, there will be mant attempts to blame the Democrats.
In my state (Wisconsin), people are beginning to organize a campaign to get our governor recalled. They are saying his veto of a property tax freeze, his expanding of gambling and his opposition to a concealed weapons bill makes him a prime target for recall.
Good Lord. If you hear about a campaign to get rid of Governor Jim "Gray" Doyle, that's us. Apparently, people want a Tommy Thompson-like figure back in Madison.

It's in the Constitution.
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." (Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5)

And then, Stallone will turn to be prophetic. Yes, I mean John Spartan, actually.

If you mean the rule that all president-elects must sing "Born in the USA" on the steps of the Supreme Court then that's relatively recent.
