Arnold Schwarzenegger, while a prominent public figure and former governor of California, is not eligible to become Speaker of the House. The Speaker must be a member of the House of Representatives, and Schwarzenegger has never served in that capacity. Additionally, there are no formal requirements for being a Speaker beyond being a member of the House, but political and party support is crucial for the role.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was not allowed to contest for the US presidency because he is not a natural born US citizen. He was born in Austria but has USA citizenship.

Yes. Unlike many other countries that allow immigration but not citizenship, it's possible to come to the United States and become an American citizen.

Even California's Governor is an immigrant; Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria and came here as a young man barely able to speak English. (Shush! I _KNOW_ what you're thinking!) Curiously, immigrants who become American citizens often value their citizenship more than many natively-born Americans do.
