To become a president, you have to... * Be a natural born citizen (born in the U.S.) or be born to at least one parent that is a citizen. * Be at least 35 years of age * Be a resident of the United States for at least 14 years. Point 1 is incorrect: "natural born citizen" means to owe allegiance to this country only. You do not have to be born in the US. The Rhodes case from the late 1800's spells this out for you. Depending on when you were born determines how many parents have to be citizens as well. In the case of Barack Obama he is not a natural born citizen, not because he was born in Kenya, but because his father was a Kenyan citizen and this gave Barack Obama Dual Citizenship, therefore giving him 2 allegiances he owes. He was a British subject at birth and he was diqualified right then.

If a president is elected for two terms how many years in office will the president serve?
if a US President is elected for 2 terms he will serve 8 years unless he resigns, dies, or becomes unable to perform his duties. A vice-president (or other official) who succeeds an elected president may serve for up to 2 years without forfeiting eligibility to two elected terms. So a President can serve a maximum of 10 years under the law set forth in the 22nd Amendment.
What happens if the vice president and the president both die and the speaker is not born in the us?
To be a Speaker of the House, a person must be elected to the House of Representatives. One eligibility requirement for election to the House is that the person must be a citizen. So there can never be a Speaker of the House who is not a citizen of the United States. Someone who can be Speaker might not be elligible for the Presidency, for example f that person was a naturalized citizen, or not yet old enough to meet the Constitutional age requirement for the Presidency. In that case, the Speaker could not become President if both the President and Vice-President are unable to serve. The succession would skip the Speaker and devolve upon the President ProTempore of the Senate.
