The Constitution states clearly that to qualify to become President you must be 35 years old, a natural citizen of the United States and have lived in the United States for the past 14 years. The unwritten qualifications seem to vary depending on the party and the people. Proven leadership, a strong political background and someone who is charismatic all seem to be common however.
