Prime Minister of China? Unlikely I would think :greengrin

Seriously though, I'm sure there was a law in the U.S. that stated you had to have been born there to hold the office of President, although that may have changed :dunno:

That was my understanding as well, although maybe they will change it coz if they don't Arnie might say "I'll be back" :cool2:

There is a law stating you had to be born in America to be president however there is a movement in the Republican camp to get it changed because they believe Arnie will win against any democrat.

There is. But then rules are made to be broken. Which they will be if enough of the 'right'(ie rich and powerful) people decide it.

Since we in the UK tend to copy slavishly the actions of our American Cousins, I wonder which paperazzi favourite would be ideal for No. 10?

Might I suggest Posh Spice :big grin:

The US chain Dunkin' Donuts has pulled an advert following complaints that the scarf worn by a celebrity chef offered symbolic support for Islamic extremism.
The online advert for iced coffee featured the well-known US television chef Rachael Ray.
She was wearing a black-and-white checked scarf around her neck that resembled a traditional Arab keffiyeh.
This fashion choice incensed at least one prominent conservative blogger, who said it evoked extremist videos.
The blogger, Michelle Malkin, called the garment "a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos".
Stylist's choice
Other criticism followed and the coffee and doughnuts chain has now decided to drop the advert.

Michelle Malkin


In a statement, Dunkin' Donuts said the silk scarf had been "selected by Rachael Ray's stylist and that no symbolism was intended.
"But given the possibility of misperception the commercial was no longer being used." This has caused a fair amount of consternation in some quarters but the conservative blogger at the centre of the row has praised the decision. "Fashion statements may seem insignificant, but when they lead to the mainstreaming of violence - unintentionally or not - they matter," Ms Malkin has written.
