I suspect the feeling is mutual ZM

He doesn't know me ;-)

You have to be born in the US to be POTUS, but I imagine you also have to be a US citizen and I don't know if Boris is. If so, they can have him.

well the last president was born in kenya so I suppose that's out the window anyway!

[Milvus]

The last president, George W was born in Connecticut, the current president Obama was born in Hawaii

Given his history of liaisons with English women, I imagine he'd 'go down' with American ones in much the same manner!

Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.

to qualify

Status as a natural-born citizen of the United States is one of the eligibility requirements established in the United States Constitution for election to the office of President or Vice President. This requirement was intended to protect the nation from foreign influence.

The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated that

The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to foreign parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.[1]
