Can a naturalized citizen serve as President/Vice President?

Answer:

The U.S. Constitution requires that a candidate for president or vice president must have been born in the United States or otherwise a “natural born citizen.” Controversies have arisen in U.S. history from time to time as to who is “natural born” and therefore eligible to be president. Furthermore, with so many foreign-born citizens living in the United States, many people believe this constitutional requirement itself should be changed.
