Solution

Break Down the Problem

  1. Identify what is meant by a "naturalized citizen."
  2. Determine the eligibility requirements for each of the positions listed: President, Senator, Supreme Court Justice, Representative.

Relevant Concepts

  1. Naturalized Citizen: A person who was born outside the U.S. but has acquired citizenship through a legal process.
  2. Eligibility Requirements:
    • President: Must be a natural-born citizen of the U.S.
    • Senator: Must be at least 30 years old, a citizen for at least nine years, and an inhabitant of the state they represent.
    • Supreme Court Justice: No specific constitutional requirements regarding citizenship; appointments are made by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
    • Representative: Must be at least 25 years old, a citizen for at least seven years, and an inhabitant of the state they represent.

Analysis and Detail

  1. A naturalized citizen can be a Senator, Representative, or a Supreme Court Justice since there are no restrictions based on being a naturalized citizen for these positions according to standard legal interpretations.
  2. However, a naturalized citizen cannot be President because the U.S. Constitution explicitly states that only a "natural-born citizen" is eligible for the presidency.

Verify and Summarize

  • The analysis aligns with constitutional law: naturalized citizens are ineligible to become President due to the requirement of being a natural-born citizen.
