There are no requirements about experience. Indeed, Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower had no experience in civilian government positions before they were elected President.

While prior government experience is often considered valuable in a presidential candidate, it is not a formal requirement. The Constitution sets forth the eligibility criteria for the presidency, such as being a natural-born citizen and at least 35 years old, but it does not explicitly require prior government experience. Ultimately, voters decide the qualifications they seek in a presidential candidate, and they may prioritize various qualities, including experience in government.
