1) The United States constitution says be a "natural born citizen". This is generally interpreted to mean that a person can be president if they have been an American citizen since birth, their parents were both American citizens at the time of the person's birth, and the person has lived in the United States for fourteen years (this last point is debatable). Although there is a lot of heated discussion over this (because of the 14th Amendment), generally these are the rules adopted within US presidential elections. The same requirements apply to the Vice President.
2) You must be 35 years of age or older to be eligible for the Presidency.
3) You must be part of either the Republican or Democratic party, and have enough support from either for them to nominate you as a candidate.
In theory, anyone can be President, as long as they have these requirements.

If elected president of U.S.A. and died what will happen?
The previous answer was rude and uncalled for so here's what I've found: If the President-elect dies after the Electoral college votes (Dec 20th this year) then the Vice-President Elect is inaugurated as the President. If the President-elect dies after the general election and before the Electoral College votes then congress by law may select the President This comes from the twentieth Ammendment - section 3: Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.
