The candidate must also be a BORN U.S. citizen and over 45 years of age. The VP must also be born in the US but these are the only 2 positions that this requirement is on. If the next in line to succession happens to be born outside the US then they are skipped in the line of succession should it ever be needed. Then all you need is the support of the party (one of the big two, no other party has a snow balls chance in hell with the current system). Actually, some experience can backfire on you. That is why usually in recent history the president has been a Gov and not a Senator. (The senator have a long paper trail of voting behind them that the Gov don't neccessarily have). Just because a Gov signs something into law, doesn't mean he'd actually vote for it, but that his state legislature did.

It only depends on one thing. If he has the support of his party. Of course you won't get the support unless you have some experience and are good on camera.

experience? Bush was a gov for 6 years, that;'s nothing.
It's basically whoever the party thinks has a decent chance of winning for whatever reason, experience, name recognition, etc...
