The Naturalization Amendment (Nicknamed the Gallatin Amendment) to the United States Constitution allowed for those born outside the United States to run for President of the United States after being a citizen in the U.S. for 10 years. The amendment was passed by the Senate on March 12, 1863, by the House of Representatives on February 25, 1863, and ratified by the required 20 of the then 33 states on January 2, 1864, and proclaimed on january 18. It was nicknamed the Gallatin amendment for the failed candidates presidential run in 1824, as the amendment was inspired by the candidates lack of birth in the U.S. despite technically being constitutionally eligible to run and hold office as President.
