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.

On 12/09/08 sarah from NY said: Not trying to be racist or anything because i am a person of color, and also knowing its a free country and all but i don't know crap about Obama except he wants change and he's black.I mean the man cannot decide weather the color on my wall is black or white. I must say i have a really bad feeling about this one but i am not going to sit here and say i didn't personally want him to win because he's close to my skin color.
