Yup. Two thirds of the Senate, two thirds of the House, and 38 states have to ratify it. That's an extremely high bar. I don't see it ever passing as for a party to champion it, they'd probably have someone in mind (like Arnold was, 20 years ago) and the other side wouldn't want to help elect an opponent.
Also, as good as Arnold may be, there's a pretty good reason for that restriction. I always like to look at the possible unintended consequences of enacting a popular law, and allowing foreigners to be the president of the us would invite some Kang versus Kodos shit
Wasn’t he a governor for a few years? If Trump can bankrupt himself 5 times on purpose to avoid paying debt and still become president, then someone that happened to be born O/S but a long term citizen of the country, why shouldn’t they be eligible to run?

I'm not American but my understanding is it's part of their constitution, so it would need an amendment.
