how does one become a president?

Answer 1

Among other things, you become a senior person in one of the two major political parties. To do that, you probably need to become governor or senator. To do that, you probably need to work your way up from local political elections.

Answer 2

Basic Requirements:

~Natural-born citizen
~35 years old
~Resident of the United States for 4 years
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, to run, you either be put up as a "representative" of a party through a primary or run as a independent. Then you campaign to sway the public to your side so when voting day comes, they vote for you, though they don't directly put you into office. The electoral college gives each candidate electoral vote(s) if a candidate wins a state (number depending on the state) in the popular vote of the people. It is these electoral votes that actually choose the next president. In a case of a tie, the United States House of Representatives chooses the next president.

You can also become president through the death/impeachment of the current president. In such a case, the Vice President would take command. If he/she declines, it goes to the Secretary of State and then through the remaining cabinet members.
