Some benefits of being a U.S. citizen are:
A citizen has many rights: the most important ones are the right to vote and the right to run for political office. Citizens are also guaranteed freedom of speech, freedom of worship, and freedom of the press.
Many legal immigrants who have lived and worked in the United States for a while develop loyalty and affection for their new country and want to become an official part of it, rather than continuing to feel like a guest. When you become a U.S. citizen, you are allowed to vote in elections, which means you can have a more direct effect on the political process, by voting for policies (and candidates) you agree with. Another thing that citizens can do is run for office themselves. There are a number of immigrants from both major political parties who have been elected as city councilors or representatives or even mayors.
As an American citizen you receive:
(1) The right to live and work in the United States. (A US Citizen cannot be exiled or denied entry into the U.S. The only way a US Citizen can be involuntarily removed from the country is by extradition after due process.) This is something that many others only dream of, or are willing to risk their lives to obtain. The U.S. economy is among the best in the world.
(2) The right to vote (which can only be taken way upon conviction of a felony).
(3) The right to serve on a jury and thereby directly influence the application or non-application of laws.
(4) The right to move freely within the United States and also to enter many other foreign countries without first obtaining a visa, as citizens of many other countries are required to have.
(5) The right to federal employment.
(6) Access to a safety net of entitlement programs. Although the financial assistance seems meager by community standards, such programs are nonexistent in many other countries.
(7) The right to run for public office.
NOTE: Many rights commonly thought of as belonging solely to U.S. Citizens, such as those guaranteed under federal and state constitutions and statutes, actually apply to any person physically located within the jurisdiction, regardless of citizenship. The same can be said of the benefits of security provided by law enforcement, firefighters and military forces.
Yes, as long as you meet the three Constitutional requirements which are... 1. at least 35 years old 2. a natural-born US citizen (native-born is NOT a requirement) 3. live in the US for at least 14 years
Well, you have to be: 35 and older, Born in the U.S. , and have no criminal record.�you must be born in the USA to U.S. parents, both! (the definition of Natural Born Citizen)�you must be at least 35 years old�you must have lived in the USA for at least 14 yearsThis isnt a qualification but alot of presidents write with their "left" hand, if you write with your left you have a better chance1. Be a "Natural Born Citizen"2. Be atleast 35 years of age.3. Have been fourteen years a resident within the United States1. be at least 35 years old2. be a natural-born US citizen*3. live in the US for 14 years.Must be 35 years old, be a natural born citizen, and live in the US for 14 years.There are three requirements for becoming President of the United States. They are that you must be a natural born US citizen, you must be at least 35 years old and you must be lived in the US for 14 years.1. You have to be a natural born citizen of the United States. That means you have to have been born as a US Citizen. That does NOT mean you have to be born in the US. As long as your parents are US citizens when you were born, you can be born to them anywhere in the world, and still be a citizen.2. Be at least 35 years old3. Live in the US for at least 14 years1. Must be at least 35 years old2. Must be a natural-born (NOT native-born) US citizen3. Must live in the US for at least 14 years
As far as I know, a very important requirement is that both parents has to be an American Citizens, because of the divided loyalty.Our recent President's late father was born in Kenya (you can check President's Long Birth Certificate), and he was the British Citizen, when our President was born.Any more thoughts on that matter?The ONLY Constitutional requirements to be President of the US are:1. at least 35 years of age2. a natural-born US citizen (defined as being a citizen at birth either by being born on US soil or born to at least one parent who was a US citizen at the birth of the candidate / both parents DO NOTneed to be US citizens, which is why President Obama is legitimate)3. A resident of the US for at least 14 years
The US Constitution imposeses these requirements to be eligible to be elected President: 1. Must be at least 35 years of age. 2. Must be a natural born US citizen. 3. Must reside within the US for at least 14 years.
1) be a natural born citizen of the United States 2) be at least 35 years of age 3) have been 14 years a resident within the United States
