Diane Herbst in People tells an interesting story of an immigrant dreaming of being President of the United States.

Alena Mulhern, 11, dreams of running for president in 2040, the first year she could legally serve as Commander in Chief . But she can't as a matter of U.S. constitutional law.The Constitution allows only natural born citizens to be President. The fifth grader from Kingston, Massachusetts , and her lawmaker uncle are working to change that.Born in China and adopted at 10 months old, Alena is a U.S. citizen but not a natural born citizen , which the Constitution requires for those seeking the presidency.
