Question: What are the requirements to become President?
Answer: The United States Constitution outlines the
requirements for President in Article 2. This article of the U.S. Constitution
also outlines the many powers of the President and Executive branch of
government.
Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states
that a President must:
- be a natural born citizen of the united States
- be at least 35 years old
- have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years
In addition, the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
states that a President may not serve more than 2 terms of 4 years each,
even if they have only served as President for 2 or more years of one
of those terms.

Clinton did the best job since Truman was in office. Obama black or white is trying to turn the US into a socialization instead of letting the states' government do there job he wants to make our country just as Russia's country stands. Everyone needs to wake up forget this whole skin color barrier it's just an excuse, watch and see what happens it will only get worse before better.

You all need to grow up and stop being prejudice. How can you say that Obama screwed up the country already and he hasn't even been in office but 4 1/2 months. You all are hating because he is black, I bet if he were a white man you wouldn't have anything to say. Because if your white you have to be right....NOT!!!!

"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;" Technically, no one meets this requirement because they would have to be 250 years old.
