Anyone who has been a U.S. citizen since birth, is at least 35 years old and has actually lived in the U.S. at least 14 years can be elected. This includes governors, lawyers, and the unemployed. Of course, a governor who had previously served two terms as president would not be eligible.

Is it possible for the party of the president and the majority party of the congress to be different parties?
Yes, but the majority party (not of congress- just what is considered the majority party according to laws) is determined by the executive branch aka the president.The most recent example, while Bush was still in office the democrats took control of Congress, but the majority party of the country was still considered Republican. Currently our President (Obama) as well as the majority of Congress are Democrat but if at their next election Congress shifts to a majority of Republicans the country's majority party would still be considered the Democrats, because of the presidentAdded: The initial answer is incorrect. The majority party in Congress is ALWAYS the numerically superior party, regardless of WHO the President is. The President has nothing whatsoever to do with naming the majority party, the voters decide who it will be by putting more members of one party in office, rather than the other.
How are the laws passed in California?
When a bill is introduced in a legislature, it is referred to a committee of that house, where the members if that committee and of sub-committees working under it will consider the bill and what action to take on it. Each committee will hold public hearings in a bill that has been referred to it, will consider amendments to the bill, and ultimately will decide whether to recommend to the House (or Senate) that they vote Yes or No on the bill or, the committee may be able to stall action on the bill and "pigeonhole" it. The House and Senate will follow the recommendations of their committees in a very large percentage of the votes on bills. Each house of Congress must have a majority of members present to conduct official business; this is called a quorum. When a bill is being voted upon in either house of Congress, a majority of Yes votes out of all the votes being cast is required to pass the bill. The bill must be passed in identical form by a majority in each house, and then it is sent to the President. If he signs the bill, it will become a law. If he exercises his right to veto the bill, he will refuse to sign it, give his reasons, and send it back to the house in which it was first introduced. Congress has the power to override a Presidential veto if they can muster a 2/3 vote in each house, but this is extremely hard to do. If the President neither signs nor vetoes the bill within 10 days after he receives it, one of two things will happen, depending upon whether Congress is still in session at the end of the 10 days after the President received the bill. If Congress is still in session, the bill will become a law without the President's signature. If Congress had adjourned during the 10 days, the bill will not become a law. This latter situation is nicknamed the "pocket veto", because the President figuratively speaking puts the bill in his pocket and ignores it. The theory behind the pocket veto possibility is that the President should always have 10 days to decide whether to sign a bill or not, and if Congress has adjourned before the 10 days are up, it means the President is unable to send the bill back to Congress with a formal veto.
If a vice president takes over office how many years can he take over for and still run two more terms in office?
According to the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, a succeeding vice-president who serves less than 2 years of a President's term is eligible to serve two full terms of his own, if elected. If the vice-president (or any successor) serves more than 2 years of an unexpired term, he/she is only eligible for one additional four-year term. Since this was not further addressed in the 25th Amendment (1967), the provisions remain in effect in the present day.
