76-year-old?Arnold Schwarzenegger?served as the 38th Governor of California for two terms. The seven-time Mr. Olympia was vocal about California’s condition in the early 2000s, so he put money where it was needed. Despite his critics, Schwarzenegger was popular among the public. However, after serving as governor for two consecutive terms, The Austrian Oak stepped away from politics. That’s because the constitution didn’t allow Arnie to fulfill his ambition.

Earlier, the 76-year-old fitness icon appeared on the Howard Stern Show. Schwarzenegger was there to promote his book,?Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life. While discussing Arnie’s career, Stern asked the?bodybuilding?legend if he?“envisioned”?running for president after serving as governor. The Terminator revealed how he felt about becoming president.

“I think that I have the energy and the will to bring people together,”?Arnie said confidently. Stern seconded the bodybuilding icon’s assumption.?“I think you would’ve won,”?expressed the host, and Schwarzenegger agreed. He said many people still come up to him and say they wish Arnie could become president. Besides, Schwarzenegger remains relevant in the political sphere because of his interest in it and also because of his ongoing feud with a former president.
