The ONLY Constitutional requirements to be President of the US are:
1. at least 35 years of age
2. a natural-born US citizen (defined as being a citizen at birth either by being born on US soil or born to at least one parent who was a US citizen at the birth of the candidate / both parents DO NOTneed to be US citizens, which is why President Obama is legitimate)
3. A resident of the US for at least 14 years
