Talk:Governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger/Archive 1

Schwarzenegger eligible to serve for a total of 11 years??
Why hasn't there been any discussion about the fact that unlike previous Governors of California, Schwarzenegger will be eligible to serve for a total of 11 years (Two more years then the average Governor) due to the fact that he served out the last 3 years of Governor Davis' term then he is qualified to run for two, 4 year terms, One of which he has already been elected to which means that if he is elected one more time to the Governorship his term limit for that office will end in 2014. 141.150.101.157 04:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC) That is very true, I wonder why it isn't mentioned in the article. They do say that Gray Davis was relieved of duty so I guess it's suppose to be implied.The Cleveland Browns are awesome! 19:05, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Can someone make a political positions page for Arnold like presidential candidates have?

Length?
This is one of the longest articles I've read (43 KB), yet the 2007-2008 section is merely a sentence. I don't get it. Can't we summarize most of this page, while expand the newest section into more of a paragraph or two? 128.189.162.110 (talk) 15:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Domestic partnerships
Domestic Partnership section lacks citations. Second paragraph seems self-contradictory: "...he vetoed a bill that would have legalized same-sex marriages..." seems to contradict with "He declared that he would respect a decision by the legislative branch to recognize same-sex marriage." Should that sentence read "judicial" instead of "legislative"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpberkland (talk • contribs) 01:32, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Legacy
Should a legacy section be added. I think the fact he came in promising no new taxes and to fix the budget but then broke his promise and watched the budget double would be worthy of inclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.4.78.119 (talk) 03:14, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Support or not
So regarding your most recent edit... Do you have any sources that back that up? Because as far as I can tell, he kinda-of-might be against same-sex in general but at the same time he performed a same-sex marriage ceremony for his former chief of staff. So now I'm really confused. Any ideas? BlueworldSpeccie (talk) 17:55, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, BlueworldSpeccie I have a source that addresses that very issue. Here you go. While I disagree with Arnold's support for civil unions, I'm glad he had the courage to veto the gay marriage bill those extremist far-left liberal ideologues sent to his desk.

 * Darn. Well that link he gave me shows that Arnold doesn't support gay marriage or civil unions on personal grounds but he supports them legally so I am going to add that in. BlueworldSpeccie (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

End of governorship
IIUC, he was automatically retired in 2011 because a governor can only be elected for two terms.

However this isn't made clear in the article (or if it is, it's not obvious where this is explained.) Chriswaterguy talk 11:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Is there any particular reason
why this article doesn't state in the lead to which party he belongs to? - Shiftchange (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
