Because he has so much responsibility, the President, along with the Vice-President, is the only official elected by the entire country. Not just anyone can be President, though. In order to be elected, one must be at least 35 years old. Also, each candidate must be a natural-born U.S. citizen and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years. When elected, the President serves a term of four years. The most one President can serve is two terms, for a total of eight years.
Before 1951, the President could serve for as many terms as he wanted. After two terms as President, George Washington chose not to run again. All other Presidents followed his example until Franklin D. Roosevelt successfully ran for office four times. He, however, did not complete his fourth term of office because he died in 1945. Six years later, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, which limits Presidents to two terms

Of course, it helps if you are born into a wealthy family with lots of political clout. You'll start at the top in everything you do. Even if you fail at everything, you can still become president. Before Bush became gov of Texas, he had NEVER held political office. (Oh, yeah, you have to be at least 35.)

If George Bush was elected, then just about anybody can become a president. As long as they are white, male and wealthy.
