No. I'm pretty sure the law states you have to be born on US soil.

No. You must be a citizen who was born in the United States in order to run for President. That is why Arnold can never be president. The Constitution must be changed for that to happen.

Actually, if you are born outside the US but are a 'natural born citizen,' then you are eligible. "Examples of persons who become citizens at birth (whether "naturalized" or "natural born") would include: birth to Americans overseas, or birth on U.S. soil, territories, or military bases overseas." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_782.html Edit: here's the Constitution: Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution: "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."
