I'm aware of the fact that the president has to be born in the US (for whatever reason). But what about the vice president?

The 12th amendment requires that the Vice President meet the same requirements as the President. So they have to be natural born citizens! Look that up in your Funk and Wagnel!!

Of course not.
A vice-president must have the same qualifications as the president. Doesn't that make sense?

No, the vice president must meet all the qualifications of the president, so he must be native born

That guy named ignorant keeps pasting the same answer into every question.
Anyways, the answer is no. He has to have been a USA citizen from birth, meaning born here. If you want to read more info on the vice-president, you can check out:

"Natural born" doesn't mean born in the U.S.A., it means that you were born an American, which could mean your American parents were on vacation in France when you were born, or on a military base overseas.
