The Constitution states that only a "natural born citizen" may become president, which includes anyone born on U.S. soil or born to American parents. Option A is incorrect because a person who becomes a U.S. citizen is not considered a "natural born citizen." Option B is incorrect because individuals born in U.S. territories are considered U.S. citizens and therefore, "natural born citizens." Option C is also incorrect because living abroad for fourteen years does not disqualify someone from becoming president as long as they meet the "natural born citizen" requirement.
