The United States Constitution provides that a candidate for the presidency must be a "natural-born" United States citizen. The candidate must also be at least 35 years old and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. No law or court decision has yet defined the exact meaning of natural-born. Authorities assume the term applies to citizens born in the United States and its territories. But they are not sure if it also includes children born to United States citizens in other countries. How Nominated: By a national political party convention

Must be a native born US citizen at least 35 years old by the inauguration. I think having been convicted of certain crimes may disqualify someone, as will living outside the USA (except on military or diplomatic duty) for a number of recent years; I think one has to be a US resident for 7 years before taking office.

At this point in History all qualifications have been put to rest. The only thing needed now is to be smarter than Bush.

35 years old and natural citizen, that's it. No ability to think things through or scholarly acumen. No historical knowledge base or even decent military service. Just the right family.
