Martha Kent claims that she had a home birth with Clark and couldn't legally report it until later because they got snowed in.

Clark Kent can prove he's a citizen of Kansas, because (at least in the last continuity I followed) the Kents did "prove" he was theirs, so they got him a birth certificate and all that shit

Superman could not run for President since he is from Krypton, and that is public knowledge.

So Clark Kent would probably run for President since he's legally the best option.

And I feel like Clark would want to run as himself and not as Superman for the same reason he didn't try to win Lois over romantically as Superman - it makes it too easy, and he wants to win people over because of his personality and strength of his character, and not because of his superpowers.

"Why did President Kent disappear from the White House Correspondence dinner when that asteroid showed up?"

"National emergency, duh."

"And he left that fundraiser when Metallo attacked that Paramore concert."

"Hes a busy guy."

"And when Superman died for the third time, Kent was sick with pneumonia and nobody heard from him until..."

"Cant a guy get sick? Sheesh"

Unlike Batman, for whom Bruce Wayne is the mask, Superman has always seem himself as a human man, who happened to be an alien. He's Clark Kent first, and Superman second. This contrasts dramatically with kryptonians who grew up on Krypton before immigrating to Earth, like Supergirl, as they often hold a few beliefs and practices many earthlings find odd or alien.

Were Superman to run for president, it would be as Clark Kent, because Clark Kent is how he sees himself, and Clark Kent is actually electable (it's common knowledge that Superman is an alien).

I was going to say. Clark has never experienced legal obstacles in how he navigated society. It was going to become a problem, it should have stopped him from attending college in Metropolis, but we know it didn't.

1 dna test later she is in jail for purgary and superman is being deported for being an illegal alien

Why would they do a DNA test on him? Furthermore, do you really think that country, upon realizing that the Pulitzer-prize winning journalist running for President is also the greatest hero Earth (and large parts of the universe) has ever known that their response would be negative? They'd probably find a way to be okay with him being an alien and he'd still win the presidency in the biggest landslide election ever.

Superman actually doesn't have the support of everyone in America, because some people can't get over the fact he's not human. He doesn't age naturally, doesn't experience human mortality or pain, and doesn't even understand what it is for normal human beings to feel powerless. They also don't trust his altruism (because of the possibility of conflicting loyalties) or the fact that there's very little that can check him if he decides to turn heel. Then he hangs out with those vigilantes in the Justice League and that crazy Amazon lady who murdered someone on live TV.

There are a lot of people who tolerate Superman as a convenience and occasional necessary evil, who would rather he weren't necessary at all. We would expect anyone with strong nativist leanings to dislike the idea of Superman running for political office.

No one has the support of everyone, but Superman is still pretty well liked. The world didn't go into mourning during his death for nothing. Considering how many people consider to be a contest of lesser evils as is, Superman is still going to have mass appeal.
