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.

Kelsey is right. don't bash people unless you know why they did something. I wanted Obama because McCain was a war veteran. I don't want the draft to take me away from everything I know, and McCain would most likely have done that. Would you want to be drafted?

Just because you did not approve of the majority of the US citizens voting for Obama to be our next president does not mean that they did not think about it. Just because Obama was not a POW does not mean that he isn't willing to sacrifice everything for the Nation. If you think about how much he has had to sacrifice just with being on the campaign trail the past two years. Not being able to see his family everyday is a huge sacrifice that not anybody would be willing to make. If you did respect people's opinion then you would be more open minded & not bash them

Hey Ontwon from Illinois, MGW is absoulutely correct. I respect your opinion, but before you get mad at MGW, do some research. Anyway, just to clear up what you said about the founding fathers and how they did not intend for the slaves to have rights eventually, read the Bill of Rights. "All men are created equal" no matter what you interpret out of those words, it doesn't matter; what they said is what they said. Maybe they didn't like slaves, but if they didn't ever want an African American president, they could have said "All men are created equal (except blacks)" but they didn't.
