Ex-governor and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger suggests immigration reforms could tackle constitutional hurdles preventing non-U.S. born citizens from presidency; calls for younger 2024 candidates amidst potential rematch between 80-year-old President Biden and 77-year-old former President Trump.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Governor of California and actor, expressed in multiple interviews that he believes he would make an excellent U.S. President. Given his birthplace, Austria, he's currently ineligible due to constitutional requirements for the presidency.

- For the upcoming 2024 elections, Schwarzenegger proposed a need for 'younger blood,' advocating for candidates in their 40s and 50s. He pointed out the potential rematch brewing between 80-year-old President Biden and 77-year-old former President Trump, asserting the match-up was 'odd.'
- Aside from his views on the presidency, Schwarzenegger also called for comprehensive immigration reform during an interview. He particularly stressed the need for immigrant worker visas as part of resolving the immigration issue.
