The United States Constitution outlines the requirements for President in Article 2. This article of the U.S. Constitution also outlines the many powers of the President and Executive branch of government.
Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that a President must:
be a natural born citizen of the united States
be at least 35 years old
have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years
In addition, the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that a President may not serve more than 2 terms of 4 years each, even if they have only served as President for 2 or more years of one of those terms.

No, the president does not have to be married, but people have a tendency to not vote for a bachelor because they are not seen to be as "stable" as a married man.

No. James Buchanan never married, Woodrow Wilson was widowed and remarried while serving as President.

No, Van Buren was our only bachelor prez. And before television some of the First Ladies were just hounddog ugly. U.S. Grant married late in life. Televison might have prevented his election.
