No, they have to be US Citizens but all the others do not have to be a natural born citizen. Only the POTUS has to be natural born. Schwartzenegger is a US Citizen. He immigrated and became one as an adult.
BTW, Congress cannot pass a law allowing a non-natural born citizen to become POTUS - it is in the Constitution.
Sorry, my mistake when typing. I meant Arnold can be Gov and not a natural born citizen. And I figured that Senators didn't have to be natural born citizens either. Wasn't sure though.
According to this article in todays newspaper in The Netherlands, the ambassador in the USA for Kenya (Kenia, as they write it in Dutch) has said in an interview that Obama indeed is born in Kenya. During Mike in the morning (Detroit radio channel) the ambassador came to the phone him self and confirmed this to be true!!!!!
According to the article has Obama's grandmother more than once, said that Obama was born in Kenya....
I'm not writing this to keep repeating old stories, since this is in todays paper in The Netherlands and was about a phone call broadcasted on Detroit radio.
No it's not! Even if he's inaugurated, his whole presidency will be invalid! After four years we'll have to burn the constitution, melt down the Liberty Bell and start over!!
Come into my soup can bunker and I will tell you all about it. There's a comfy space over there by the chicken noodles.
Actually, Panama was under US control at the time McCain was born, making him a natural US citizen.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the issue of Obama's citizenry goes on at least as long as the Bush/Gore 'who really won the election' debate in 2000.
It'll go on a lot longer than that. It'll be Whitewater long. It'll set the record, actually, as it started last year. Wingnuts will keep this alive for his entire term, if they can. They are relentless.

That is so true and that is why the Governator never can be the president of the USA.
I just put up this post since it seems to be news overseas and in Detroit on the radio channel.

And you can be sure he'd be raising holy hell if Obama was not a "natural born" US citizen. GIVE IT UP, you guys!
