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.

I think Obama will be a great President. I dont know why everyone is mad he became President. This is our 1st BLACK president. Not trying to be rasist but for years we had white presidents, I think it will be great to have at least 1 black presidents of the United States. The comment about everyone needs to go back to where they came from that was rasist. If they did that there would not be a United States of America. Think about it. IT IS A FREE COUNTRY. If we decided it was time for a change then it was TIME FOR A CHANGE!!!!!

You mean the same founding fathers that never intended that contisition for all men created equal. We (of intellegic..)know that they (founding fathers) all were slave owners and that it (the Constitution)was not intended for their slaves and there decendants. By those standards Mr. President-Elect Obama would not be in office...I'm sure that would be all up your alley. Crawl back uder your bigotry rock. If you don't like it move out the country. I didn't vote for Dubya, but I waited to see the whole of his presidency before I called him a failure.

why can't everyone just accept the president elect?
if race were a question...i think that all the white people should go back to england or germany or wherever, all the black people to africa, and the mexicans to mexico, and the spanish to spain, and canadians to canada, andasians to asian, and so on...
