What is the citizenship requirement of the vice president?
The citizenship requirements for Vice President are the same as for President; he or she must be a citizen of the USA and a "natural-born" citizen. The Constitution doesn't actually define what that means but Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:"Anyone born inside the United States *Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribeAny one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. nationalAny one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one yearAny one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.* There is an exception in the law - the person must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. This would exempt the child of a diplomat, for example, from this provision.
How does one become a citizen by birth?
In the United States, the general rule is that one is a natural-born citizen if born within the US or one of its territories, or if at least one parent is a US citizen. If the mother is not a US citizen, it can get a little fiddly (because when a child it's born it's usually pretty obvious who the mother is but who the father is may be open to question); generally the US citizen father has to be married to the mother or specifically acknowledge the child as his own and jump through a few other hoops.
If your mother is a us citizen but you were born in Japan do you have dual citizenship?
Yes. If you were born in the US, you are automatically a citizen. If you were born outside the US, and one parent is a US citizen who qualifies for residency, you will be a US citizen, you will only need to have proof of your birth and mother's citizenship that you get from the US Consulate in the country of your birth. More: The Congressional Research Service has stated that "the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion indicates that the term [natural born citizen] means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to US citizenship 'at birth' or 'by birth' which includes any child born 'in' the United States, even to alien parents (other than to foreign diplomats serving their country), the children of United States citizens born abroad, and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements."
