Can natualized citizens be Vice-president?

[AmericanWannabe]

Of course they can not be president. But can they be vice-president even though such vice president can not become president in case of the president's death, resign, or disability.

A naturalized citizen would not be able to become President. The latest legislation in this is the Presidential Succession Act of 1947. The VP is listed at the top of the list followed by the Speaker of the House and President Pro-Temp of the Senate. An official must meet the constitutional requirements in order to be eligeble under this act. Former Secretary of State Madelaine Albright was for example 4th in line to the succession. But her foreign birth rendered her ineligible for the top post.

Sure it is possible for a naturalized citizen to become vice president. It is constitutionaly not clear if such a person could become president in case of the president's death, resignation, or incapacitation.

As per Amendment XII

But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.

So a Naturalized Citizen can't become a Vice President
