How about this:
Every president must be born a citizen of the United States, must have
lived in the United States for at least fourteen years, and must be at
least thirty-five years old.
I don't think they have to be born on American soil.

Hi fellow listers,
I'm out of read mode and back into write mode for a wildly, wildly OT
question :
I've been told that, to be able to run for President of the USA, one has
to be at least 35 and have been born on US soil. What about a kid whose
both parents are American, but who happens to be born outside the USA ?
Would he/she be allowed to run anyway when he/she is 35 ?
It's a question my 10-year old just asked, and I did not have the
answer.
TIA,
Christian "still interested in US politics, somehow" Lheureux
