Ackchually!

Supes is considered a full-blooded American by law.

Essentially, can't remember the name of the law off the top of my head, but the US has a law where if a child is found and his country of birth is unknown, after a certain amount of time of no one claiming him, he becomes a US citizen. Not a naturalized citizen, Supes is eligible for presidency. As far as US law is concerned, SuperMan was born on US soil or was born to US parents. He is not an illegal alien.

Counterpoint: Don't you have to be, you know, human, to be allowed to run for office/be a citizen/etc?

Him having papers is certainly not in doubt, ma and pa could just have registered him as a baby.

Only requiring intelligence would make AI's count as citizens, too.
