what does one have to have in order to be a president of the united states?

Question

U.S history and politics

Answer 1

Must be born a US citizen, and 35 years old.

Answer 2

Article Two of the Constitution sets the qualifications required to become president. Presidents must be:

* natural-born citizens of the United States
* at least thirty-five years old
* must have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years

Citizens at the time of adoption of the Constitution were also eligible to become president, provided they met the age and residency requirements. While not an official requirement, the vast majority of presidents had prior experience as vice presidents, members of Congress, governors, or generals; in addition, thirty-one of forty-three presidents served in the military, all but one of them, James Buchanan, as an officer. During the electoral process, experience or lack thereof is often given as a point in a presidential candidate's campaign.

Candidates usually must receive the backing of a major political party. This is not strictly required in order to be considered a serious candidate. Third-party candidate Ross Perot received nearly 19% of the vote in the 1992 election.
