Winston Churchill...as an American!

First, Churchill's mother's nativity would not make him eligible for the presidency. It would be if he was born here. So, one aspect of his presidency would be moving the whole "birther" thing up a few generations earlier.
actually, it does (at least under current definitions; i don't know what it was like during Churchill's lifetime, but the definition of "natural-born citizen" extends to the children of one or more American citizens, even if they were not born in the United States themselves

if anything, Churchill would get flak for being born in England like George Romney did for being born in Mexico, with the difference being that Churchill is a much more credible and capable politician
 
You're missing out the bit where Captain Winston Churchill leads a company of Rough Riders up San Juan Hill after Roosevelt...

Ah, my bad. I had read the OP to mean that his mother had assumed British citizenship.
 
Churchill would be next to irrecognizable after a totally different life in America. Even if he becomes a politician in America he wouldn't be Winston Churchill.
EDIT: His treatment of the socialists would probably make him the more hated than Wilson on this website if by some ASB he is made into the exact same Churchill of Britain.

Teddy for President with Churchill as VP and the Bull Moose Party will win 1912 barring any titanic disasters.
