Best Answer

A natural-born US citizen of Mexican descent can be elected President, but a person born in Mexico cannot. Article II, Section 1, Paragraph 5 of the Constitution specifies the President (and Vice-President) must be natural-born, meaning born in one of the US States, US Territories, or on a US Military base. Naturalized US citizens are not eligible to run for President.
