Camejo is a first-generation American of aristocratic Venezuelan descent. At the time of his birth, his mother was residing outside of Venezuela in the Queens borough of New York City. Although a "natural born citizen" of the United States — hence constitutionally eligible for the U.S. Presidency later in life — Camejo spent most of his early childhood in Venezuela.
