After the ratification of the Equal Right to Govern Amendment in 2014, the natural-born requirement has been outlawed and naturalized citizens can now run for President and Vice President.
In the 2016 United States presidential election, former California governor, actor, and bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger is the first naturalized citizen to run for President and get the Republican nomination. He is quite moderate to liberal on social issues, which has triggered Mike Huckabee's socially conservative third-party campaign under the Constitution Party. He will face off against former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is hoping to break the glass ceiling and become the first female President of the United States.
How will the 2016 campaign play out? Will Arnold Schwarzenegger be able to take advantage of Hillary's unpopularity and follow Ronald Reagan's footsteps to the presidency? Or will Hillary Clinton be able to continue Obama's legacy for another four years?
I hope everyone enjoyed the redux of this mod, as much as I did making it. The sequel, Arnold Schwarzenegger vs Tim Ryan, should be released in March 2024. Stay tuned!

In terms of positions, he is quite moderate on social issues, but conservative on economic issues. Mike Huckabee has launched a third-party social conservative campaign, which has split the Republican vote, potentially hindering Schwarzenegger's chances of winning. However, he is the favorite in the polls, judging by Hillary Clinton's unpopularity.","color_hex":"#d60000","secondary_color_hex":null,"is_active":1,"image_url":"https://i.imgur.com/PMlq9sD.png","electoral_victory_message":"
