The U.S.A. has approximately 300 million citizens, of which about one-third may vote. Therefore, why are so few candidates available for presidential candidacy out of a "pool" of about 100 million voters? Dismissing those not of age to become president, I'm guessing about 66 million Americans are legally eligible to become president. The presidential choices are usually nearly 8 candidates but that is such a low, nearly non-existent number with respect to the amount of eligible Americans for this office. Regardless of party backing, can other eligible Americans run for president? Another guess of mine is, only millionaires can run for president, yes?
