Who is

The least Anglophone plausible candidate for the American Presidency? Accents don't count.

A potential POTUS who grew up speaking Spanish doesn't seem impossible. Or Cajun. And child-of-immigrants potentially offers any language on Earth as their milk-tongue.

How plausible do you want besides meeting requirements?

For example, a 1st generation USAn with Brazilian parents who grew up in Framingham, MA would likely be bilingual, and might have an accent -- but probably not.

Oooh. OK, somebody with 2 USAn immigrant parents who go back to live in their original non-English speaking country right after the kid is born, retain citizenship and move back eighteen years later.
