    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.

      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.
