Why was Alexander hamiltn not eligible to be president?
Technically he could've been president, since article 2 section 1 of the US Constitution states "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." One of the pre-requesits for presidency was being a legal resident of the United States at the time of the adoption of the constitution, which was September 17, 1787. Hamilton immigrated to New York from the Caribbean in 1772, so at the time of the constitution's adoption he was a legal United States citizen. Technically Hamilton was legally eligible for presidency and the only thing stopping Hamilton was most likely the sex scandal he was involved in, which tampered with his reputation.

If you marry an illegal citizen and you are an American citizen do you have to live together if you have an alternative lifestyle?
First, there's no such thing as an illegal citizen. Second, there's no such thing as an alternative lifestyle. But if you are asking if a marriage between a gay person and an illegal immigrant of the opposite sex would be valid if it is not consummated, that depends upon the laws of the state where the marriage took place. If the marriage was made with the intent for the illegal alien to gain citizenship or permanent resident status, that won't happen. Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT automatically confer citizenship or permanent resident status.

For how long can a Canadian Permanent Resident stay in Fiji?
A permanent resident of any other country whose still carrying a Fiji Passport can enter Fiji and stay in Fiji for as long as they want since "it" is still a Fijian citizen. Permanent Residents whose holding other countries password can stay in Fiji for a period of 3months and can be extended at any Immigration Office in Suva, or Lautoka. A permanent resident shall carry its identity cards with them at all times as Fiji customs require such thing for identification. Failure to show a "Permanent Residence Card" will have the traveller removed and isolated for questionning. The American Embassy is always noted on such matter as Fiji dont have a Canadian Embassy.
If you marry a Mexican citizen would he become a citizen then or would he have to take the test to become a US citizen?
IF YOU MARRY A MEXICAN, HE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ONLY THING THAT MARRAIGE ESTABLISHES WHEN YOU MARRY A MEXICAN IS PERMANENT RESIDENT ALIEN STATUS FOR HIM. HE CAN ONLY KEEP THIS IF YOU REMAIN MARRIED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS. IF HE WISHES TO BECOME A CITIZEN, HE MUST TAKE THE TEST AND PASS. I married an illegal Mexican immigrant and I was told by an immigration officer that he can be deported until we have been approved for a visa number, but that some immigration officers will be lenient if the immigrant has papers with him showing that the process is underway.

How does visitation work if one parent is a US citizen and the other parent is a resident of Mexico and how difficult is it for the non citizen parent to get visitation if they have been deported?
It seems like the easiest thing is for the two parents to figure it out. The non-citizen parent should definitely be upfront and honest in his dealings with the other parent to keep visitation going.

What visas does a British person need to marry an American citizen in the U.S. and what does the American need to do after the wedding if they plan to live in England?
My British fiance and I are going through the same thing and so far the only answer we have found is for the US citizen to apply for a "Settlement" visa. This site can be most helpful http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk It can be costly and time consuming but we can see no way around it. Good luck! First of all, all you need is his birth certificate and yours to get married in the states. I know, I have done this. You can get married and live in America, he still has to go through INS to be a perm. resident. As far as you going to live in UK, well, check with INS in UK to see what you need to do. It really isn't hard to do, it is time consuming and costs some money. That is all! My husband and I reside in the states, he is now a permanent resident, but isn't going to become a US Citizen, he likes the fact that he is still a British citizen and a perm res of USA. Good luck!
