“So Winston Churchill could have been our President?”

Yes, his mother was born in the US.

Many people from popular tourist destinations like Cancun and Bangkok are also eligible.

Was Winston Churchill a U.S. resident for 14 years?

Was Winston Churchill a U.S. citizen at birth?

The answer to both questions is no.

If he had been born today, and spent the required 14 years as a resident of the United States, and if he could get himself elected, then yes. The Constitution provides no other bar to him.
