The only two elected jobs(federal) that you cannot hold if you are not a "born" citizen are president and vice president.  You could be born overseas and still be a US citizen like say if your mom was a US citizen but you were born while she was on vacation in Canada.  I think if you're born and a US embassy you're also a "born" citizen.

Their is no law against running for vice president after serving your 2 terms as president.  Legally you could run as vice president have the president step down and do another 4 years.

no, actually he can be sent back to his home country, anything can effect the possiblity of getting a citizenship, especially what you have mentioned.

Yes. The process is exactly the same once he is already in the country. Just get a license from your county clerk's office and have the ceremony.

No, although this nation is of immigrant stock (99%) I do not think an immigrant should be President. Not if this person had to be naturalized. I do not think an accident of birth should prevent an otherwise qualified person. IE: A person born to American citizens who are abroad @ the time of their birth for whatever reason, this person should be qualified. However, a person of divided loyalty in any way should not be the leader of this or any other nation.  No matter what they may say or do, a person is still loyal to the land of their birth. My Grandmother was Irish till she died. Despite having lived in The US for 85 of her 97 yrs.

There's nothing preventing it other than perhaps voter sentiment and that the electors of a state cannot vote for a president and VP who both live in their state. For this reason Cheney changed his residence to Wyoming. Two people from the same state could still be elected, however, if there were enough votes from the other 49 states.

No, because the Constitution states that a candidate must be born in the United States.  Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state, it is a U.S. territory.

A U.S. president cannot become vice president if he serves more than 2 terms because if something were to happen to the president, the vice president would be first in the line of succession to become the next president.  Example:  Say Vice President Cheney were elected president.  He cannot select current President Bush to be his vice president because President Bush would have already served 2 terms as president and could not serve another term as president if something were to happen to President Cheney.  Not sure about Speaker of the House.

Right now our laws do not allow a naturalized citizen to become president.  However you can become any other elected official.  Some senators and governors are immigrants and have emmense power and influence within the government.\n\nGood luck on your citizenship process and don't give up.  It took my friend 10 years before he finally became a citizen.  But it is worth it,  you have better job opportunities and more compreshensive rights as a citizen.

Anyone from any state that meets the qualifications can run for President. Of course, the more political experience you have, the better your chances of being considered a real candidate.

You must be a naturally born citizen to be president. Thus there is no way save a constitutional amendment that Gov. schwarzennegger can become president.\n\nUS Constitution, Article II, Section 1\n\nNo person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
