Do you have to be born in America to be president?

The president must be a natural born citizen of the US. An individual may also be an American citizen by birth if he or she was born to U.S. parents outside of the United States. The US Constitution says that the Vice President must meet the same qualifications as the President. That means he or she must be at least 35 years of age, and be a natural born US citizen. It is a common misconception that the President must have been born in the United States, which is not true. But they must be a citizen at birth. A person born in Paris when his father was was serving as US Ambassador to France, for instance, would be qualified to be President. Someone born in a foreign country who later immigrates to the US is not eligible to be President, even though they become a US citizen after moving here.
