Every US citizen over the age of 35.
The same as president.
The same as the presidents.
They are the same as for anybody else.
A vice-presidential candidate must have the same qualifications as the President, because he may become President.
No, the official qualifications are the same, since the Vice President may become President. However, parties may not demand so much from their vice-presidential nominees as they do from their presidential candidate and voters might expect less.
Yes, the Constitution states in Clause 4 of the 12th Amendment, the amendment that established vice presidential elections,"... no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
Same as qualifications for president: 1. at least 35 years old 2. natural-born (NOT native-born) US citizen 3. live in the US for at least 14 years
These are the same qualifications as the President.Must be a natural born citizen in the USMust be at least 35 years of ageMust have been a resident for 14 years
This is because the main role of the vice-president is to be able to take over as President if necessary. A person not qualified to be President would not be able to become president and so could not fill this role.
True. However, the President has additional term limitations under the 22nd Amendment. (see related question)
In short, the basic qualifications are the same as the office of the President.1. Natural-born US citizen2. At least 35 years of age3. Resided inside the US for no less than 14 years
