Let's say, for the sake of handwavium, that Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in the US while his parents were visiting, and returned to Austria a few months old and then had his OTL life. Alternately the 'natural-born citizen' clause is less of a big deal ITTL, possibly with a George Romney-related PoD.
Now a hugely popular AH meme that's even penetrated the mainstream media is the idea of President Schwarzenegger. But here's the question - what would Arnie's chances be? Would he ever stand any chance of getting into the Oval Office? If he did, what's his best route? I'm tempted to say that right now would be his best shot - the 2012 GOP field IOTL is bleak and lifeless, and he has a media profile already high enough to rival Obama's.
