The given statement "One of the requirements to run for Congress is to be a natural born U. S. citizen. Therefore, an immigrant cannot run for Congress" is true.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Natural born U. S citizen is requirement to hold prestigious post like President or Vice President which means to run Congress. But U. S. Constitution even Supreme Court never defined the exact or appropriate definition of "Natural born U. S citizen" and reason behind is to prohibit any foreign influence on nation.

Requirement of U. S citizen only to hold such post is inked in Section 1 of Article-2 of the U. S. Constitution. While Fourteenth amendment removed phrase "Natural born citizen" but still demand remain the same regarding eligibility.
