Do SCOTUS Justices have to be American Citizens?
Advertisements [?]
We were discussing possible appointments and requirements or "recommendations" for nominees, and I brought up that I don't think there are any. So we started throwing around some oddball names, and then we started to wonder; can a foreign-born or non-American citizen be seated? For all intensive purposes, assume they are highly qualified for the position and not simply a random person from another country or just some naturalized "Joe the Plumber."
