Hatch sponsored an Amendment that would change the Constitution to allow naturalized citizens of X years be able to run. I think his was naturalized citizen for 21 years. I believe it should be naturalized citizen for 14 years, having lived 10 consecutive years in the states or territories of the United States.
There's really no reason to keep the naturally-born requirement these days. And I think it could pass through enough states in time for the next election if it quickly gets out of Congress.
