Nothing in the Constitution specifically prevented Andrew Jackson from becoming president. He was eligible to run for president because he met the constitutional requirements of being a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and having lived in the United States for 14 years. He won the presidency in 1828 and served two terms.
