I appreciate the smiley, but not only have I looked, but the following definition is what I was taught and have thought for all my 59 years
A naturalized citizen is a foreign national who is granted citizenship in the United States after fulfilling certain requirements. In addition to the United States, many other nations offer naturalization to people who wish to apply for citizenship. The naturalization laws for various countries are typically available through their departments of immigration.

There are two basic categories of United States citizens. A natural citizen is someone born in the United States or born to American parents on foreign soil. A naturalized citizen is someone who was born in a foreign country, but took a series of steps with the end goal of being granted citizenship

Following the Constitution, that means Arnold (naturalized citizen) can be a governor or senator or anything in government except President.

It also means Bobby's good to go.
