Do you have to be born in the United States to work for the government? Like to work in the FBI or be a police officer?

No, you have to be a citizen though.

Not at all. If you know a second language and can pass a polygraph, while also having some sort of bachelor's degree, then you are likely to get a job in the govt. somewhere.

Nope. You "only" have to be a citizen to work for the FBI, not necessarily born in the US. To be president or vice president, you have to be a "natural born" citizen. That means you have to have been a citizen since you were born. You can't be a naturalized citizen (a person who applied, and filled out paperwork and swore an oath.) Note that a "natural born" citizen does not necessarily need to have been born in the US. US citizens can be born abroad to their US citizen parents. They are still citizens the moment they are born. John McCain wasn't born in the US, but he is a natural born citizen. No other positions in the US government besides president and vice president require you to be a natural born citizen. Most require you to be a citizen though.
