Best Answer

In order to get elected you have to have the support of a political party . You have to have enough political sense to wage a successful campaign with the help and advice of professional politicians. However, you do not have to be a career politician. Several generals have been elected without previous experience in politics - W. H. Harrison. Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower. Hoover was an engineer who had never before run for office although he had served in Washington as a cabinet member.

It is not a legal requirement that a person must be a professional politician in order to become president. It is, however, unlikely that someone who isn't a politician would be elected president.

No, not at all. George W. Bush, the president before Obama was not a lawyer, but a business man, with an MBA.

No, you don't. And the best presidents have not been.

The only requirements for the Presidency is to be a native-born American citizen and 35 years old.
