The requirements to run for the position of President of the United States are as follows:
Must be at least 35 years of age, a natural born citizen, been 14 years a resident within the United States.
This is according to the U.S. Constitution, Art. II, § 1.
To have a foreign-born president, the constitution would have to be changed, and I really don't see that happening.

Section One of Article II of the Constitution states that a President must be a natural born citizen of the United States. There will never be a Mexican born American president as long as they never change that requirement. It is extremely unlikely that they ever will.

Wont ever happen. By Law you or anyone who runs for the presidents post has to be a USA born citizen to be a president. This can be a person of any race or ethnic group or color but if you are born in the USA then you are a American and not Mexican.........i actually know what you are asking or saying but i thought I would point it out to you so maybe you should add details as to what you really mean in your question...........

You can't be president unless you were born here! If you were to change that law you would literally have to change the constitution and that is just not possible!! And that law Includes ALL immigrants, including Europeans! It seems like a lot of people assiosiate "immigrants" with mexicans and that is just not right!!

i'm white and replaced into born interior america of a. So this concern may be the comparable as me working for president in Mexico. The president has to symbolize definitely everyone interior the rustic, no longer a particular race. you ought to objective to have somebody run to symbolize mexicans, yet i doubt the vast majority of this u . s . a . could approve.

What are you talking about?? The mayor of Los Angeles is Mexican-American, born and raised in California. He is an American....get your facts straight.

Boy you flunked civics didn't you. Are you white, or just dumb? You CANNOT ever become US president if you are not born in the US. Each other jurisdications for elections have different rules but those for US senate and representatives are clear and set in stone as is the qualifications for US pres. Naturally born.
To run for other offices you must have residency requirements for that jurisdication and be a US perm resident and naturalized citizenship. The office of pres does not allow for naturalization.

Requirements for holding office
Section One of Article II of the U.S. Constitution states that 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), at least 35 years of age, and resident of the United States for at least fourteen years. Congress first extended citizenship to children born to U.S. parents overseas on March 26, 1790: "The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States." However, this statutory definition of citizenship was succeeded by the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment specifically defines two types of citizenship: citizenship by birth and citizenship by law (naturalized citizens): "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." All persons born in the United States are citizens by birth; all other persons with citizenship are citizens by law (thus "naturalized"). Because of this Constitutional definition of citizenship, either a person is born in the United States or a person is a naturalized citizen. Thus, to be a "natural born citizen," a person must be born in the United States; otherwise, they are citizens by law and are naturalized, as defined by the 14th Amendment. Examples of persons who become naturalized citizens at birth would include: birth to Americans overseas, or birth on U.S. soil, territories, or military bases overseas.

unless you change the requirements for becoming president, the time it takes to have a mexican president will be infinity.
