A candidate for U.S. President must be a U.S. citizen from birth.
For example, an Englishman who has lived in Washington, D.C. since he was 1 and who is a naturalized U.S. citizen is not eligible, but someone who has lived in Puerto Rico his entire life is eligible.

∙ 11y agoThe Constitution says: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
The exact definition of "natural born " citizen has never been ruled on by the Supreme Court. It is assumed to include everyone born in United States territory except for foreign embassies. It is unknown whether it includes children born in a foreign country but whose parents are United States citizens.

Natural-born is usually interpreted to mean that you were born in the United States, but even if you were born abroad, if your parents were citizens at the time, you are still a natural-born citizen. Another requirement is that you have to be at least 35 years old.
