Obviously, I would be happy with the senate as well. Beggars can't be choosers.

You would have to contact the Office Homeland Security to become a US citizen. After that, you can never become President of the United States because the constitution prohibits people who were not natural born Americans from becoming President. You can still run for Congress or be a Cabinet Secretary, however

To get into America, just get a cheap flight to Mexico and take a casual walk across the border. You get a free job as a welcoming gift.
On the Presidency question, there's good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the US constitution says only US citizens can become President.
The good news is that the constitution has almost totally gone. Like the Geneva Convention, the right to trial, honest elections and privacy rights, there's no need for old rules like US citizens are the only option for presidency.

Obtaining American citizenship can be fairly quick, but you could never become President as you have to be born in the US or on US territory.
(However, there are a group of Republicans who want to scrap that Amendment to the Constitution in order that Arnold Scwarzenegger could run for President, possibly in 2012).
As for running for the US Senate, if you were an American citizen you would just have to wait until an election cycle, but getting elected is extremely unlikely, as you would have to build a base of support in your chosen Party to get their nomination to run, as non-Party candidates tend not to get elected unless they are un-opposed by one of the main Party's (in this year's elections the Republicans are not seriously running against Joe Lieberman in Connecticut and the Democrats are not running at all against Bernie Sanders in Vermont and so both will almost certainly be elected in one week's time).

File your papers with Homeland Security and wait many years. After that, get a constitutional amendment past that repeals the requirement that the President be a natural born citizen.

Only people born as American citizens can become President. It's the law...

You will have to be happy with a senate run, since you were not born in the US or a US territory you cannot be elected president.

Marry an American. Become a film star, then a has-been. Then an American politician.
Shouldn't take more than thirty years.

Never, friend. It's constitutional law that a presidential candidate must be a native-born U.S. citizen. Naturalized citizens can never be president.

I don't think by 'natural born' FozBear meant that you shouldn't come out of a test-tube. Fact is, that anyone who is not born in the USA cannot stand for President. (Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger for example).

You have to star a movie, or a trilogy. Then you can run for either president or Governor of California.
