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.

including all, not excluding many. that's what obama has brought- which if you didn't know is democracy. if you are only worried about yourself, then try to remember for a moment that he's my dad's president too. he is everyones president, rich or poor. that does not mean he's going to take your money, but it does mean hes going to be a president to peopke who have less.

Obama will do a bad job
we should not change
why should we change our ideals and principles?
we must preserve them
we must PROTECT THEM TO THE DEATH!!!
the reason why were in a black hole right now
Is because we are swaying away from them!!!
we must stick to tradition and strictness!!!
our founding fathers would agree with me
we should be guided by our constitution, by what this country was founded on
not by the people
they are a mob

what most ppl dont realize is that the President really has NO say on what happens, the Senate and House have all the say. The President is just a spokes person who is supposed to make us all believe that he can change the country for better. In all actuality, the President has as much say in changes as we do, and as we all know , thats not a whole lot. Even if the Senate and the House are mostly democratic or mostly republican, depending on the President, they dont always agree on what to do.
