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.

This Country will never be the same!!
Businesses are going under, people are loosing thier jobs right and left. We cant even afford to buy groceries much less go on a short weekend trip with our families. Wake up people until we take back our nation from these Washington DC Buracrats that care nothing about individual Americans we will never see any kind of Change !! Quit Bitching people and stand up for ourselves, tell WASHINGTON DC to take responsibility for what they have done and where we are by writing your local state reps and lets get this place back to "WE THE PEOPLE"
