Must the Speaker of the House be a natural-born citizen of the USA?
The President and VP must be natural-born citizens (not naturalized). Congressmen do not have to be natural-born. Since the Speaker of the House is third in line to the presidency, does the Speaker also have to be natural-born?

Now that is a good question I would think the Speaker would have to be although it does not say it in the constitution

I would guess that the Speaker doesn't have to be natural born, but will not be allowed to take the office of the Presidency.

Interesting question--I don't think so.
If the President dies in office, the new Pres would select a new VP a la Nixon and Agnew/Ford.
