Arnold Schwarzenegger is considering a run for the presidency of Europe, according to Newsweek. The ex-Governor of California is unable to run for President in the U.S., because he was born in Austria. But the position of EU President will soon be available, as current president Herman Van Rompuy's term expires on May 31, 2012.
Former right hand man Terry Tamminen believes Schwarzenegger would make an appealing candidate, because he could become the new "Washington or Jefferson" of Europe.
From Newsweek:
Terry Tamminen, who headed California’s Environmental Protection Agency before serving as Schwarzenegger’s cabinet secretary, has told him that he should be president of a newly reconstituted European Union.
“In the next few years, the EU will be looking for a much more high-profile president—somebody who can unify Europe,” Tamminen says. “The French won’t want a German, and the Germans won’t want an Italian. How about a European-born person who went off to America and … could return to be the Washington or Jefferson of a new unified Europe?”
Van Rompuy may run again, but there appear to be no rules barring Schwarzenegger from running, even though he is an American citizen. Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor Schwarzenegger goes to cast his vote on election day with his wife Maria Shriver and their daughters Christina and Katherine (her first time voting), at the Kenter Canyon elementary school in Brentwood.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on famiy life

Arnie spent 2 full terms has Governor of California after the historic 2003 Total Recall where incumbent Gray Davis and his girlie men were overthrown.
Speaking with an Austrian newspaper Arnie told reporters “What was much worse was the damage my time as governor did to the family. There is a lot there that needs to be repaired we hate your job, his family told him.
It is not yet clear what direction Arnie will take in the future, but it is clear that family will become very important for a man who was married to his job for the past 8 years. Who can blame him, after all, he was in charge of the world s 6th largest economy.    ARNOLD FAMOUS QUOTESGlobal warming is one of those things, not like an earthquake where there's a big bang and you say, 'Oh, my God, this is really, has hit us.'
