Let's see: go to Yale thanks to your daddy's well-established connections; get arrested time and time again for drunk driving and let your daddy bail you out of trouble; use drugs; con investors into putting money into an oil deal that goes sour, leaving them all holding the bag while you accumulate a pile of money; 'serve' in the military just because you think it would be cool to fly a fighter jet, then have your daddy get you out of any 'real service'; use your family's influence and money to become Governor of Texas; steal an election (or two) with the help of your brother, Jeb, and your daddy's friends on the Supreme Court; start an illegal and unconstitutional war just to 'get even' with Hussein for humiliating your daddy when he was president during Desert Storm; - oops - he's already President George!
I guess his experience and education has been really top-notch! -RKO-

There are none. The only requirements are to age 35 or older, and a natural-born citizen of the United States.

Depends on the country, but usually you have to be dumb, look stupid, and have financially powerfull friends to back you up (bribe vote counters and vote givers, blackmail your opponents, make your speaches, commercials, etc) Being someone important it`s a business, because you can make good use of the power invested in you and with that power you can make you very rich and your sponsors much more richer.
Very rarely good and skilled people became leaders (i.e. presidents, prime-ministers, ministers, etc) Politicians only fight for their rights, never for those who voted them. Why ? Because they don`t care about others, but only for themselves. It`s the same all around the world, despite whatever they say. Look at bush. he says he wants to free the world, but he is killing so much that you can barely say he freed someone. Also, you can barely count the money he gets out of the USA accounts and also form Iraq accounts. To much business to see the common people. Common people are expendable, everytime.

There are none, except to be 35 and a natural born citizen. The powerful generally are not the best thinkers in the country, because those who are are busy in other forms of work.

None.
For example: Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas. The population of that state is almost the the same as that of Brooklyn, New York.
How is that for a qualifier?

There are none. in case you do not have a replica of the structure accessible, you could type "structure of the U. S. of us of a" into your in demand seek for engine and skim it. There aren't any tutorial criteria. have not you ever heard of Abe Lincoln?
