I find it weird that Zohran Mamdani can never run for President, but former UK PM Boris Johnson can...

Well, he’d have to live here for 14 years first, but otherwise, yeah. Weird for sure 🙃
@Zaphod42 Apparently not.

According to US law, “natural-born” means citizenship at birth, either being born in America or having American parents abroad (which is why Ted Cruz, born in Canada, is eligible).

Even if someone lives in the US for decades, they cannot obtain “natural-born” status, so Mamdani is disqualified from ever becoming president.

@wishforthenight
Requirements to be US President:

Born in the US
At least 35 years old
Lived in the US for at least 14 years
@Zaphod42 Exactly. All of the above.

So yes, at this point BJ cannot run for president, but he could in theory... Mamdani on the other hand, no.
