You have to get on the ballot on a state-by-state basis.  You either have to get a party's nomination (it has to be a party that has ballot access in that state), or you have register as an independent, which requires a certain number of registered signatures.  You can also run as a write-in candidate by simply registering with the state's secretary.

You must register with the Secretary of State in your state.  You can probably find the information you need at your state's web site.

You need to be a natural-born citizen who is at least 35 years old. Constitutionally, that is all that is required. Realistically, you need an established political presence, money and the ability to raise more money, and lots of connections in one of the two major political parties in order to be considered a viable candidate for the presidency.

NO, Section One of Article II of the U.S. Constitution establishes the requirements one must meet in order to become President. The president must be a natural-born citizen of the United States \nThe only time recently that the natural-born citizenship requirement has been implicated in regard to a presidential candidate was in 1968. That year, Michigan Governor George W. Romney was a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. Romney had been born in Chihuahua, Mexico to American parents. However, Romney's campaign fizzled and the question was never seriously discussed.

Basics like 'how to participate', at least one of his representatives, and who the president is (prob sec. of state too.)\n\nThen there's the history... should know who we got independence from, first president, and a bit about social equality and the fight for rights for blacks and women. (refrencing Rossie the Riviter, Rosa Parks, MLK Jr. and Lincoln)

Your chances may be encouragingly minuscule if you qualify (you must possess all of the listed criteria below).\n\n1) You are an American citizen born in the United States.\n2) You are white.\n3) You are male.\n4) You are at least six feet tall.\n5) You will be above the age of 50 when you announce your candidacy.\n6) You have served in some branch of the Military or as a civil servant (i.e. Policeman, Judge, etc.).\n7) You are unapologetically partisan.\n8) You are reasonably religious (acceptable religions include any denomination of Protestant and, should you be a Catholic, a faith with enough independence so that America will not consider you at the beckon call of the Vatican).\n9) You received a college education from a highly respectable institution.\n10) You look like an average American man with a recent makeover that made you slightly more handsome.\n\nShould you posses all these traits, you are qualified to be President.  So, try running for office.  If you don't fail miserably in a City Council, Mayoral, or even State Assembly election, then you might get lucky.  I wouldn't quit your day job though.

How about if YOU become a candidate.  Run for a local office and learn about yourself and your prospective constituents firsthand!  Quit bellyaching and put yourself on the spot!  Lots of folks complain but few are willing to put up with what a candidate and then the politician has to put up with.

First you need a college degree. Some congressmen didn't start with degrees, but mostly you need one these days.\n\nThen, when you decide you want to be a congressman, you organize a campaign committee. It usually involves you, and a finance captain or chairperson. Do not start raising money until after you have filed.\n\nYou need to receive a copy of the campaign finance laws in your state where you are going to file to run for congress.\n\nAfter you have read the campaign finance laws in your state, you need to find out the latest date for filing. The sooner you organize to prepare to file, the better.\n\nBut the later you file to run for the seat, the better.\n\nIf the seat is being vacated, it is a lot fairer. But if you are running against the incumbent, that is really good for you and really bad for you all at the same time.\n\nIf you run against the incumbent and have your stuff so together that you beat him, that would be a miracle. You would be a bigtown hero. If you run against the incumbent and really scare the crap out of him, he will pay you big money to work for him. But if you don't enough votes to scare him half to death, then don't give up, run for a smaller seat. Not congress, perhaps, but rather a legislative seat, where there are more of them and they are much easier and cheaper to get into.\n\nA law degree or a degree in political science is a big help. Also a degree in history, economics, education, - actually, a degree in almost anything - is really helpful.\n\nIn legislative races, you can sometimes raise less than a thousand dollars to win, but in congressional races, the stakes are really high and the money is really big. The people who hand out the money are not going to give you any unless they see what you can do on a statewide level, so it is better to start on a legislative race and work your way up. Name recognition and knowing the lobbyists is a big help. Lobbyists and Political action committees give most of the money through a process called endorsements. The endorsement process in politics is very much like the endorsement process in sports.\n\nAfter you have filed, you need to get your message out there. That is a long story. The harder you work at it, the better off you are. \n\nYou absolutely cannot win under any circumstances if you do not knock door to door on every single door of every single house in your congressional district. I am absolutely telling you the absolute truth. \n\nWhen you are knocking on doors in your district, you need the following:\n\nvoter registration forms to register voters. \nStickers, handouts, flyers, balloons for the kiddies with your name on them, bumper stickers, refrigerator magnets for the ladies, pencils with your name on them for grade school kids in the hopes that the teacher also is a registered voter in the congressional seat for which you are running. \n\nThere are lots of things you have to do in order to run for congress, but man, no matter whether you win or lose, it is the most fun race you will ever win even if you lose.

Ok, and your question is...?\n\nSet it out as a professional letter, ie, your name and address in the top right, his/her name and address below it on the left.\n\nIntroduce yourself if you don't know the president personally, say you are a part of the team, then talk about the team's successes and recent progress.\n\nIN a new paragraph, say that you want to play in the tournament. State what fundraising activities you have done, what you have planned, and how much shortfall you expect. Then ask if he/she would consider sponsoring the team. You'll probably have to offer to keep a poster or banner advertising the company at your benches etc, or register the team under the company's name.\n\nSign the letter like this:\n\n"Hoping to hear of your support,\n\nYours Sincerely,\n\n(signature)\n\n(YOUR NAME)"

Sometimes the requirements differ depending on the office.  Most offices will require you to submit some type of application and pay a fee.  You may need to pay a fee to cover the costs of printing your biography in the ballot pamphlet.  Some offices might also require you to submit a petition with a certain number of signatures.  You may need to run in a primary election if you are running for a partisan office.  You should check with local registrar of voters or other local election officials for more information.\n\nIn terms of conducting your campaing, be sure to study local campaigns.  There are plenty of people who are willing to sell their services.  You can buy campaign signs, solicit donations, knock on doors, do phone banking and all sorts of things depending on how much support you have.

The first requirement for becoming president of the USA is you must have been born in the USA.\n\nFrom my perspective here in UK, I think getting to be president is extremely difficult, even for a very rich person.  However, you do not have to actually be that rich because a lot of the money is put up by supporters and businesses and private individuals by way of donations.\n\nThere have been one or two not very rich men who got to be president of the USA.  I'm thinking in particular of Abraham Lincoln.  Much of the money which helped get him elected came from Welsh support in the State of New York and from Wales.  Abe was a small town lawyer but eventually got elected mainly on the anti-slave ticket and was backed by the powerful anti slave or abolitionist movement.\n\nWhere to start?  You could try local politics and then move up from there - its a long haul but worth all the effort.\n\nAs for the 'democracy' angle, I think it best for the most part to ignore this word.  It has no real meaning in modern government, which is in effect more of an elected dictatorship.\n\nOne thing you do need in politics is a skin as thick as a rhinoceros.  Just about everyone is going to be sniping at you once your in public office.\n\nGood luck and please study political science.

Surely you have a few ideas considering you were elected in the first place. Someone must think your up for the job. Just be you and the ideas will come flowing out
