president??!!!?

Question

Is is true that to run for president, you have to serve in some kind of force, like Air Force, or Coast Gaurd?

Answer 1

President of the USA or some other country? If you mean President of the USA no. Bill Clinton had none. Neither did Ronald Reagan. The qualifications are in the Constitution "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States." And additionally you cannot serve more than two full terms nor more than a total of ten years.

Answer 2

No. Less than twenty of the forty three Presidents thus far ever served in the Armed Forces. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as President during the two World Wars of the 20th Century. Neither had ever seen one day in uniform. In that same century, only two wars involved Presidents who had served in the armed forces: Korea (Harry S. Truman and Dwight David Eisenhower) and Vietnam (John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, Richard Milhous Nixon, and Gerald Rudolph Ford).

Answer 3

No, that is total fabrication, you do not have to have served in any branch of the military to run for president.

Answer 4

In the US -- no, there is no such requirement.

For popularity reasons -- military service helps.
But it is neither legally nor constitutionally required.
