I think you have to be born there, which is why we can all rest easy about Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Ha about Arnold!

But is it in the constitution?? Seems strange for a country of immigrants!

Think the idea originally was to avoid forrin tyrants coming over and taking the place over. (Because that's the Americans' job, heh heh.)

ermm... no. I can direct you to my Politics A Level, if that helps

I'm sure the Constitution will be on the web thousands of times over.
