Actually, this question can have two answers. You haven’t specified the country that this is for and it’s impossible to figure out what one you’re after since this has been posted under the Education category. In Canada, for example, we also have a Speaker of the House of Commons. They don’t need to be born in Canada to hold that position. In the USA, I believe you need to be a natural born American.
