Why can't Elon Musk become President of America? 🤔🇺🇸

🏛️ What are the requirements to run for the presidency of the United States? 🇺🇸

According to the U.S. Constitution 📜 (Article II, Section 1), anyone wishing to run for president must meet 3 basic requirements:

1. 👶 Must be born in the United States (Natural-born citizen).

2. 🎂 Must be at least 35 years old.

3. 🏠 Must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.

🚫 Why can't Elon Musk run?

Although he holds U.S. citizenship 🇺🇸, Elon Musk was born in South Africa 🇿🇦, so he is:

> ❌ A naturalized citizen and not a "natural born" in America, which violates the first condition.

🔧 Can this requirement be changed in the Constitution?

Yes, theoretically it is possible ✅, but:

It requires a complex constitutional amendment 🧩.

Must be approved by two-thirds of Congress (Senate + House of Representatives) 🏛️.

Then it must be ratified by 38 states out of 50 🗳️.

Due to these complexities, changing this requirement is very rare in American politics ⚠️.
