Growing up in a nation that has seen the wrath of war and the decline of social freedoms, Arnold Schwarzenegger, at a young age, understood the importance of politics. However, unlike many, his venture into politics was not pre-planned. The ex-army man was happy with his dominance in bodybuilding, but he craved more. He did not want to restrict himself. Determined to push the boundaries, Arnie took up one role after the other.

While acting was his passion, joining politics was more of a moral calling. He wanted to do something better for society. His moral obligations pushed him to stand for Governor’s election. But what if he was given a bigger opportunity? Back in 2014, the Governator opened up about the same.

Arnold spoke about his political aspiration

When Arnold took the chair as the 38th Governor of California, he created history. He became the first foreign-born to become the Governor of California after John G. Downey. However, his political aspirations were not limited to the chair of Governor. He had his eyes glued on the highest chair.

For the unversed, Arnold had always expressed his desire to run for the post of President. However, there’s one legal hurdle. The US Constitution debars foreign-born nations from contesting for the said post. Had this not been the case, then, as Arnold quoted, he “would have run for President in two seconds.” However, for this, changes had to be made in the constitutions.

Arnold had no regrets, for the “land” had given him more than he could imagine. He said,” in the land that gave me everything, I can’t complain about the one thing I can’t get. I think it’s too late for me to get them to change the law,”

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the visionary

The ‘Austrian-Oak’ may have played his role as the California Governor with perfection, but there is one special role that is closest to his heart. And that’s the role of an “entertainer.” A man of vision, Arnold, throughout his life, has played multiple roles, but his endeavor was always to entertain the public and bring positive change.

Even while serving as governor, he made an effort to implement policies that had an impact on the rest of the world in the hopes that other states and congressmen would take note. All in all, he has always been thankful for his life experiences.

He once said that perhaps because he came from overseas and traveled so much, he had a bigger exposure and more perspectives to learn from. As his experience enriched, his vision for the world changed for the better. He, thus, best described himself as the “Citizen of the world.”
