Clarification- "to be a citzen of the same country he is president". It is important in the United States because it is part of the constitution and an agreed upon formality among all of our founding fathers. They thought that way because they wanted a person that understood and believed in the values and freedom one has growing up in this country.

Can a British citizen be president of USA?

No. The US Constitution requires the president to be a natural born citizen of the United States. It also requires a president to be at least 35 years old and 14 years a resident of this country. So not only could a British citizen not be president, but even a British citizen who gave up British citizenship and became a naturalized US citizen cannot be president.
