. . . and noted:

<<<So it's the Mark and Tony show, huh? (two in the hand is worth one in the
Bush!) I could live with that. But Arnold is out of the question. Whether
we like him or not, a naturalized citizen can't run for president.>>>

I believe that both Tonys (Tonies?) on our list are from the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. For the same reason as Mr. S, can't
be prez - the Alexander Hamilton clause prevents it.

(For our friends outside the US, the US Constitution contains a silly little
provision stating that only natural-born US citizens can be President. It's
primary purpose was to keep Alexander Hamilton from ever becoming
President - apparently no one could foresee the Vice President killing him
with a pistol just a few years later.)
