soudns like the type of question that it could be obvious that you have to born in that states to become president, but out of curiousity i just want to be sure.
back in highschool when studying the constitution, i recall there was a section where it mentioned the regulations that had to be followed for a person to become president.
is there a website where you can read the constitution in its full details?

NO. Natural-born does not mean physical location.
You can be born outside of the USA if your parents meet certain criteria. The link takes you to the specifics:

Yes, s/he has to be born here.
Section One of Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes the requirements one must meet in order to become President. The president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

that's a privilege for people who're born and raised right here. that's an American good. that's the comparable reason if we went to a distinctive united states of america and ran for government there, the locals may well be upset. the human beings want to be ruled with the aid of yet another who's born and raised as one among their own. interior the USA, that's a regulation that's useful to be born interior the USA to run for government.

Yes, you do have to be born here, not a naturalized citizen. That is why Arnold Scwartzenagger could never run for President.

You can be born outside of the United States if you are born to parents in another country while they are serving in the military. I also think if you are born in a territory of the United States then you are eligible.

No, actually in tonlac's answer he contradicts him/herself. The Constitution says that a presidential canidate must be a natural born citizen. A natural born citizen could be a child that is born in, say South Korea and the father is American and the mother is Korean. The child is automatically a natural born, american citizen because of his/her's father. the child is also a korean citizen

They have to be a natural born citizen. They could have for example been born in Germany to US military people,
Or born out of the US to a US couple traveling on vacatoin.
