Canada has a foreign-born head-of-state, who was represented (until recently) by a foreign-born Canadian national. (Obviously these are ceremonial)

I don't believe there are any requirements like this of the PM - they just have to qualify to be an MP, which means over 18 and a Canadian citizen.

Conceivably, I could become PM of Canada one day.

- I did not mean open to all. I agree that is silly. citizen and residency would be good. - zork May 30, 10:52
- I think that's really what zork meant - open to all US citizens. Though it would be fun to see a campaign with 3rd country nationals allowed to run. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 10:49
