You need to have been one for seven years, but you don't have to be a natural-born citizen. Arnold Schwarzenegger could run for Senate and legally be elected, but he'd have to go to a state in the Midwest to do it--a Republican would not win election to the Senate from California but he could from Iowa or Missouri.

A US senator must have been a citizen of the United States for at least the past nine years.

( Also, each senator must be at least 30 years old and must be (at the time of the election) an inhabitant of the state they seek to represent. )

These requirements appear in Article 1 Section 3 of the US Constitution.

"No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and have been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen. "
