It is the president. The writers want to make sure only native born citizens could hold the office.
The U.S. Constitution states that naturalized citizens can not run for the office of President. It is the only office that must be held by a natural-born American citizen.
You have to be a representative, and you have to be a citizen of the u.s.for seven years, and the term for a president is Four years.
Only a "natural born citizen" can hold the office of US President. See the related question below that gives the information from the Constitution that explains this requirement.
The United States Constitution says;"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."This is why only a natural born 'American' Citizen may become President. (not U.S. CITIZEN)The only other people who could become President were the ones who had already became a Citizen before the Constitution was adopted. None of those Citizens are still alive today, so now you must be natural born.
