What do you need to become a US President?

Answer 1

Interestingly, all the Constitution says is that you must be a natural-born citizen (not someone who was born in Another Country) and you must be at least 35 years of age. To win an election, you must win a majority of the popular vote, and also have more than 270 electoral votes (the "electoral college").

Answer 2

There are three qualifications as follows:

* Must be a natural born citizen * Be at least 35 years of age * Have been a resident in the US for 14 years (you can be a naturalized citizen without actually being born in the US). As you can see, there are no educational requirements. Still, there are many skills and personal traits that would help in the pursuit of the office. Some might include:

* Good communications skills * Leadership skills - the ability to persuade others to agree with and/or follow your vision * Good critical thinking skills * Charismatic personality * Self-starter * Highly motivated * Well versed on all issues as they are related to the nation * Strives always for good personal appearance * Ability to delegate authority The above are just some skills and traits, others may add to them. Still, beginning with Theodore Roosevelt, all presidents except Harry Truman had a college education. Some graduating from very prestiges institutions. Thus, today a college education - although not required - is a must (at least in the eyes of the people).

Answer 4
