ReneUnited States: You if are over 18, you can become a naturalized citizen if you have lived in the United States for 5 years. Then you can apply for citizenship. Then you take a test on basic American knowledge. If you pass that, you go to court and take an oath. Then you are a citizen. If you are under 18 and your parents get naturalized, you are also a citizen.
The first step in applying for citizenship through naturalization is to enter the US and secure a green card in order to establish permanent residency. The next step is to ensure eligibility. The next step is to file Form N-400 (US citizenship application) to commence the naturalization process. You may file Form N-400 if you are over 18 years old, are eligible for naturalization, and have had a green card for a minimum period of 5 years. The period is three years if married to a US citizen.

Can a naturalized citizen become a senator?
A naturalized citizen can be a US Senator, although not the US President.
Who decides if someone can become a US Citizen?
There is no single person who makes this decision; it's a bureaucratic process. Any person born on US soil is a citizen by default. Any person who is a legal resident alien can make an application to become a naturalized citizen, and if the application is approved and the person fulfills the requirements they are a citizen. People can become citizens if they are married or related to current citizens. In certain cases people are granted citizenship for humanitarian reasons - usually if there's a credible threat to their lives if they return to their native land. There are restrictions placed on who can become a resident alien - quotas that prevent mass migrations from impoverished nations, screenings to weed out dangerous criminals, and the like - but aside from that the process is largely a matter of crossing T's and dotting I's.
