You have to be a U.S. citizen, national or naturalised. And you have to know how to spell and punctualise correctly.

very few career civil servants in the U. S. become Ambassadors for the simple reason that the job is handed out to people that have done the then administration favors or contributed large sums of money to the party,or in some cases the position is given to a member of the party who has outlived his usefulness or who has become an embarrassment in order to remove him from the scene,these men do not of course get the plum jobs but are sent to outer Mongolia or worse ..Ambassadors today are mere figureheads all the real work is done by the staff who are highly qualified civil servants

Most US ambassadors are career Foreign Service Officers. You join the foreign service by passing the written and oral exams, but very few successful FSOs eventually become ambassadors; that is a very high level that is reached by very, very few.

Moldovian Princess is right - learn to spell. Imagine if the US was signing arms control treaties with the Soviet Onion.

You have to be a qualified person to do it. You have to exercise deplomacy.
