No- not really. There is one restriction that was added, that a person who has already been elected two times or else has been elected one time and completed more than two years of another's term can not be president.

Why are there few formal qualifications to be the US president?
The qualifications were put into place by the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution and have not changed. I think they did not want to eliminate anybody who might be a good President. The voters add their own qualifications when they vote and there is a grueling campaign that tends to expose any weaknesses in a candidate. I wonder what qualifications you would like to add.
