Whatever you consider Hawaii part of...why?

If a Kenyan can become POTUS, why not a Saffrican?
Because the actual law as written excludes someone not born in America from becoming president.

Obama was born in Hawaii, so he passes. Musk was born in South Africa, so he doesn't.

It would take a constitutional amendment to change the law. Highly unlikely.
