He'd probably sit in the middle of park benches with his legs spread just enough that nobody else could comfortably sit there, and wouldn't offer pregnant ladies the seat in the subway. That monster.
I feel like the problem with celebrities is less than they're celebrities and more that they're usually arrogant and don't listen to people who clearly know better. Buuuut that sounds like 99% of DC, so...
The main issue isn't that Keanu was born in Lebanon, it's that he was born in Lebanon to Canadian parents. If they were American, he could be born anywhere in the Universe and still be eligible. On the other hand, if he was born in the US, his parents could be from anywhere and he would still be eligible. Those are the two ways to be eligible.
That is actually still is up for debate. There has never been a ruling if it means born on US soil or born with American citizenship. Trump was gonna sue Ted Cruz if Cruz won the GOP nomination over that exact thing. Cruz was born in Canada
It's been settled in cases outside of election law that American citizenship jus soli and American citizenship jus sanguinis are identical in every way in terms of the rights they confer. I imagine that precedent would carry over to election law.
That is what I would rule if I was a judge or SCOTUS member but they don't always work out that way (like the overturning of the precedent of Roe v Wade)

I would also accept Dolly Parton.

Love Keanu, but fuck the idea of any celebrities in politics.

Dude, I like Keanu Reeves. I wouldn't wish this upon him.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
but.. Keanu Reeves with a still-living puppy?
Escape2Continue
IIRC in the book series "chaos seeds" the mc mentions "that old movie that president reeves was in", which gave me a chuckle
MmmmmSoup
Yeah but he's probably a cunt

Does the actual graffo still hang out here?
transientmind
The immortal meme makes me sad. Because we can actually see his ageing process starting to accelerate. I wish it were true though.
FacelessAce
Keanu Reaves is immortal, but is slowly sacrificing his lifeforce to slow the apocolypse.
beaubrent
Ya’ll need to stop electing celebrities and start electing statesmen, it is what got you in this mess in the first place.
cryptzicle
0 Terms. He's not US Born therefore he is automatically disqualified.
baggypants12000
Yeah, in your dimension, but that was overturned by President Betty White in the 80's, man.
GTimgur
According to law, twice. But... that's only in this universe!
sadurdaynight
the actor?!
unluckyandbored
And who's vice president, Jerry Lewis?!

Great Scott!

What if this is the dimension of the evil Keanu Reeves?
TheWombatStrikesAgain
What if good Keanu Reeves gets ruined by the shitty system?
Left4Donut
Nah, turns out the one constant throughout the infinite multiverse is that Keanu is pure. He’s the stabilization point keeping it all from collapsing.
snoffler
Prolly still better than the evil reality show star.
iRememberLOLcats
Especially if you consider this might be the nice Trump universe...
Redyls
literally was gonna ask
HackerJacker
He's president, thats a given
BlueDsc
I feel like an evil Keanu Reeves would still be a massive improvement over a lot of what we've actually had.
Kakeukh
Still better.
mcfuckstick
still better than this one
theonlybronson
NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE
ThisGuyPostingThings
If their Keanu's a politician, I think that's the proof it is the evil one.
ferlathin
The darkest timeline!!
geotard
Does he have a goatee?
Slickdoodle
A Vandyke.
geotard
A Van Goatse ..
ldstrike
Dont speak blasphemy.
bobbycottle
Evil Keanu lets his hands touch your shoulder when he takes a picture with you.
MikuJess
The realm of Reanu Keeves! Oh no!
Thatguywhodidthething
What if ours is the evil one and the others are all out there curing cancer and putting people in other planets?
RaySkye
In?
GuggelPlayer
He is only evil if he wears black and has goatee
badatediting
Still would stay
rerickson5133
Impossible, there is no such place
TresusIbor
Turns out evil Keanu Reeves is actually still a really nice guy. He just gives a thumbs up if people call him breathtaking.
SoludisSnake
Well take that!!.
NZSheeps
That Bastard!
StarscreamAndHutch
His bus still gets closer to my front door than whatever this shitshow is we’ve got going on globally today.
aloharamada
He'd probably sit in the middle of park benches with his legs spread just enough that nobody else could comfortably sit there, and wouldn't offer pregnant ladies the seat in the subway. That monster.
reineseele
He also gives a thumb up on executions. So it has an upside for everyone. ^^
RoyalWithChz
What?!
kahooki
In fact he gives a thumbs up to everyone and everything. He couldn't help it. All people in this dimension only have thumbs.
TheDildoOfConsequences
He takes away their breath.

It's a gift from the tubeway army.

Proper roman execution technique there.

I would've thought y'all would've learned by now celebrities don't make good presidents...

Zelenskyy seems to be doing fine.
Varenvel
just becouse there is are exeptions , not makes all celebreties good people , especialy you propobly herd what Regan did
16bitStarbuck
Do you smell toast?
Jimmytheeel
Yes and no. Lincoln was a celebrated professional wrestler. T. Roosevelt was a celebrity of his day.
NotTinyPancakes
you think any of us are learning...lkike anything? at all?
Notedbutignored
Jon Stewart would get my vote
StarSumiaki
Not quite accurate. Vapid and vain celebrities don't make good presidents. Though I think Keanu would end up being like Jimmy Carter.
ProppaGanda
You mean a president who has been stripped from power by his own cabinet?
SIGMA920
Then you realize that only happened because all kinds of other shit that's worse than what you were leaving is happening because it's not normal.
SortaSordid
Born in Lebanon and raised in Canada, I don't think they allow that in the US, be thankful though, Leon Skum can never be your president.
mondeca
Dimension hopping you don't question, but a version of Keanu who is eligible to be president is too far?
kgbofficer
His father was American, does that count? I'd take Keanu over whatever else we've got
QuartzPoker
If they filled out the right paperwork when he was born to make him an American citizen, yes
SortaSordid
He was raised in Canada, he's far too good of a person to want to be in US politics.
haggerton
Who said it was the US? Keanu Reeves has standards.
downrightmike
President of the World

The main issue isn't that Keanu was born in Lebanon, it's that he was born in Lebanon to Canadian parents. If they were American, he could be born anywhere in the Universe and still be eligible.

Except in a dimension where there are more than two ways to be eligible!!!
