No you do not. There are three requirements for the position of president of the United Sates. They are as follows.

• Be a natural born citizen of the United States
• Be at least 35 years of age
• Have resided within the United States for no less than 14 years

Answer 3

There was no official rule about it, and in fact, in the old days, not everyone was able to go to high school. Several presidents were self-taught, tutored at home, or had much less than a high-school education. A good example is Abraham Lincoln: he had very little formal education, but he continued to study on his own and also apprenticed himself to educated men who could train him; eventually, he learned enough to pass the Bar Exam and became a lawyer. On the other hand, even back in the earliest days of the United States, a few presidents attended a university-- for example, John Adams went to Harvard, and Thomas Jefferson attended the College of William and Mary.

As education became more formal (with laws that prevented a young person from dropping out until a certain age), it also became more widely available. Having a good education was soon considered essential for certain occupations; and it was expected that the leader of the United States would be an educated person, with at least a high school diploma and maybe even more. Thus, all presidents over the past 140 years not only finished high school: they attended or completed college. And one president, Woodrow Wilson, even had a PhD.

Answer 4

There are no policies or laws that state you have to have a high school diploma to be in Congress; however, most people in Congress not only have high school diplomas, they have college degrees.

Answer 5

It takes much more than that...
