I know you have to be an natural born citizen of the US. But do you think people would vote to amend the Constitution in order for a non-natural citizen to run for President.

You have to be a 'natural born U.S. citizen' to even run for president. This means that you have to be born in America, in a US territorial possession, or on a US military base or embassy in a foreign country to have a chance at being the president.
US law is centered around the principle of 'Jus Soli' which basically means that, to be considered a natural born U.S. citizen, you have to born on American soil, not just to American parents (you are typically considered a U.S. citizen if you are parents are American, but not a natural born citizen).

No. the U. S. shape, Article 2, section a million states:"no one different than a organic born citizen, or a citizen of the USA, on the time of the adoption of this shape, would be eligible to the workplace of President; neither shall somebody be eligible to that workplace who shall not have attained to the age of thirty 5 years, and been fourteen Years a resident in the USA."

The odds say no. Constitutionally it is possible if the person was born overseas to American parents and thus a natural-born citizen, but extremely unlikely.

If the Constitution changes, maybe. Wait, what about George Washington?

The President HAS to be born in the US, so that won't ever happen
