That's actually an interesting question. There was nothing that actually prohibited women from voting in the constitution, yet it still took an amendment to actually get the right to vote for women. However, the difference here is that someone would have to challenge the validity of a female candidate based on constitutionality. And I don't think any one would be stupid enough to try that now. And since a woman has already run for vice-president in the past, I don't think there would be any issues raised.

Of course. The Constitution says nothing about the gender of the president; Article II, Section 1 only refers to "person."

Heading up wellbeing-care reform replaced into the only important administrative pastime she ever attempted to do, and she or he replaced into an entire flop at it.

Can the woman go through the tear down of personality and of history of her life by the opposition during the selection process ? Can she then face everyone like a man when confronted with all the political and 100 hot issues that are running at the given time?
She definitely can!
Alas, we have not found any one to do that yet.

Yes. Any American citizen over the age of 45 (or 35) that is registered to vote may run for office. According to the constitution. They also have to have lots and lots of money to do so.

Yes, a woman can be elected. But I hope the next president (man or woman) will be a peace loving president, and not Hitlery Clinton.

Both Article II and the 12th Amendment refer to "the person". So, there is no gender limitation.

There is no gender requirement. The person can be male or female or anything in between.
