To run for president you only have to of lived in the USA for 14 years and be over the age of 35. So I still support his campaign.

Actually you have to be born a citizen. Governor though, go right ahead. Just ask Arny!

 

Well, not exactly, but close. You have to be born on US soil. It does not need to be the US when you were born there. So for example, if Austria became the 51st state, Arny could run for President.

 

Well, thats not true. What is the legal precident for this? I don't think thats the idea early America had.

 

"The requirements for citizenship and the very definition thereof have changed since the Constitution was ratified in 1788. Congress first recognized the citizenship of children born to U.S. parents overseas on March 26, 1790, under the first naturalization law: "And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens." (See ref. for the Act of 1795)^[11][12]"
