Vice president then.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada. The naturalization requirement is a lot looser than you might think.

He was born a US citizen though. The requirement isn't that you are born on US soil, but that you are born a US citizen. John McCain was born in Panama.

I defend facts, not Ted Cruz:

"The candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth."

Ted's parents were US Citizens. Are Musk's?

Requirements for the Presedent are diffrent than that of a Senator.

Place of birth does not matter for the House or Senate. Only need to be a US citizen.

For the President it's a "higher standard" you must be a native born Citizen.
