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 01/30/09 Krisse from MD said: "Its a well known fact that obama doesnt meet 2 of the 3 requirements to be president." What two requirements doesn't he meet? Instead of getting your information from online sources with no credibility or your parents, try researching things before you post them publicly.
On 01/28/09 chad from GA said: Well, looking at these requirements id say its safe to say that obama has officially usurped his power as commander in chief-Does anyone remember why we broke away from the crown? Not to mention the fact that a certificate of live birth cannot even get you a drivers liscence or prove citizensip for a job.Its a well known fact that obama doesnt meet 2 of the 3 requirements to be president. And hes gonna fix the economy? Pumping 825 billion out of the fed into the public is going to put us into a depression worse than the 1920's. Just wait and see. America needs change- A libertarian president.
On 01/27/09 john from CA said: how do you know tht mcain would have started the draft?? and how can you trust someone with no military experience mking all of the important decisions regarding war?
On 01/23/09 RAY from NM said: ALL I GOT TO SAY IS IF WE MUST FOLLOW THE PRESIDENT AND HIS RULES WE MUST FIND SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT PEOPLE NEED, WANT, AND KNOW NATURES LAWS. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO WILL FIGHT NOT JUST TALK BUT ACTULLY FIGHT.
