What are qualifications for a person to run for president of the us?

Answer 1

There are 3 things to be the President of the United States.

They are....

• Person must be a natural born citizen of the United States
• Candidate must be at least 35 years old

• Must have been a permanent resident in the U.S. for at least 14 years

Only native-born U.S. citizens, at least 35 years of age, and must live in the United States for at least 14 years to be president, in addition to being a natural-born citizen
To have any chance of being elected, you need to be elected to a high office such as governor or senator or else be a national military hero. Such a position will make you a leader in your political party and give you access to other party leaders. You need to have a solid organization in your home state and at least some money available. After you have established some claim to be electable, you need to take advantage of all opportunities to make speeches and be seen on television both on Talk Shows or in the performance of your official duties. Once people start mentioning your name as a potential candidate, you need to get your supporters to set up a finance committee and set up fund-raising dinners and appearance for you. If all goes well, you can start planning the primary campaign and setting up a national organization. You need to make a good showing in the early primaries and hope that your campaign picks up momentum and more funding as the convention draws nearer.

Answer 2

The Constitution requires that ; "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." It is very specific: 35 years of age natural born citizen lived 14 years in the US

Answer 3

The Constitutional requirements to be president are:

1. be at least 35 years old

2. be a natural-born US citizen*

3. live in the US for 14 years.

* The Constitution specifically states that one must be a "natural-born" US citizen not "native-born." "natural born " is not defined by the Constitution and has not definitively been defined by the Supreme Court but is generally interpreted to mean either born in US territory or born of US citizens (see the Related Link below on US Code Title 8 for more information).

The exact words from the Constitution in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

"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. "

The 22nd amendment gives an additional requirement in that it makes a person ineligible for president if he had already been twice elected president or has been elected once and also served more than two years of a term to which he was not elected.
