Answer:

You can't run for President, but you can run for either house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Senate:

To run for a seat in the US Senate, you need to be a US citizen for 9 years (and above 30). A modern example is Senator Ted Cruz, current senator for the state of Texas.

House of Representatives

You need to be a US citizen for 7 years, and above 25.
