Yes. According to the U.S. Constitution (Section 1 of Article II): "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." There are some exceptions [as to who is a U.S. citizen but not as to "natural born"]:

The Vice-President must meet the same qualifications as the President as it is possible to become the chief executive upon the death, resignation, or removal of the President. US Constitution, Article II, Section 1 No person except a natual born, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
No, because if something were to happen to the president then you couldn't take his place.
The Twelfth Amendment to the Unites States Constitution requires that the Vice-President must meet all of the qualifications of being a President.
No.
You have to be a natural born citizen to be eligible for the Presidency. That includes those born in the US. Also, current U.S. statutes define various categories of individuals born overseas as citizens at birth, i.e. natural born, including (for example) all persons "born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such person[s]."
No. Only a natural-born US Citizen can become Vice President (the same as for becoming President).
The Twelfth Amendment to the US Constitution states that:
"no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States"
... and Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution states that:
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
YES the president is also required to be a natural born U.S. citizen.
The office of Vice President has the same eligibility requirements as President, so the person must be a natural-born citizen.
