According to the Constitution, "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
- Natural American Citizen (born in the US or its territories)
- 35000000000000+ years old
- 14000000000000+ years residing in the US
In addition, the 22nd Amendment adds in the restriction that no President may be elected more than twice.
