No. Just be a natural born citizen and to have been a resident for the past 14 years. Natural born citizens are those with birthright citizenship, and people who are the children of citizens have birthright citizenship, no matter where they are born.
Elon is a heridatary citizen of Canada, and so would be a natural born citizen of the US if we joined the union.
Don’t you have to be born in the US to become president there?

I do not understand why your first word is “no”.
You are correct, the US Presidency is available to “natural born” citizens. Elon Musk is not that with or without a US take-over of Canada.
Seems the consensus now is a natural born citizen is one with birthright citizenship; so anyone born to a US citizen counts as well.
If the USA successfully annexes Canada Musk would qualify since he was born to a Canadian citizen who would now be a US citizen.
I moved my comment to below this one…
To be “natural born”, you have to be born either inside the United States or to somebody that was a US citizen at the time.
If you have 11 children and become a US citizen, your children are not automatically citizens as well. They have to apply.
Technically, the constitution doesn’t define “natural born”, and we’ve seen how little this administration cares about even the parts it does define.
