Must an American be born in the United States to run for president of the United States? Can immigrants run for president of the United States?

Let me answer your question. According to the current constitution, non-American-born immigrants cannot run for president of the United States. According to your situation, it does not meet the requirements of the electoral law. Article 2 of the current Constitution of the United States reads: "Unless you are an American citizen born in the United States, or a person who has become an American citizen when this Constitution is passed, no one else is eligible to enter the White House." This constitution was adopted 200 years ago when the United States just became independent.

But now the US government is planning to amend the constitution. An important content of this amendment is that the president of the United States can allow foreign immigrants of non-American descent to work in the future, mainly because of the influence brought by the election of Arnold of Austrian origin as governor of California. This bill will not be passed soon, and it will take some time to discuss, but the fact that foreign immigrants can serve as the president of the United States may become a reality in the near future.
