No signatures are needed to run for president.  All you need is to be 35 years or older, you must be born in the U.S. and must be a resident of the U.S. for a minimum of 14 years.

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.

My guess?  At least three.  One to watch the takeoff line for foot faults, another to verify the distance measurement, and a third to be certain that the athlete correctly performs the hop, step and jump (no cheating!).  I have no idea what the official number is.

It simply needs verification that these are real people whose opinions are relevant to the stated cause, for instance if you get 50 blind people to say they like the looks of the new uniform, it might raise a few eyebrows. (Or 50 sex offenders, the school wouldn't want their opinion either). Have the signers add date and maybe who they are (student, teacher, parent, etc.), the more well known the signers to the people you are presenting the petition to, the better. And another thing, you can never have TOO MANY legitimate signers.

There are over 400 representatives, several for each state.  Do you want to pick a specific state?\n\nI'll go with my representative, Joseph Crowley from New York's 7th district.

You probably have to get a petition going, and get a certain number of signatures on the petition ... then you can approach the local or state election commission and ask them to get the question on the ballot.\n\nActually, it's probably a good idea to contact the election commission first ... find out exactly what's involved, including how many petition signatures you need.\n\n.

At a minimum you need to have born a US citizen (not naturalised) and be at least 35 years old at the time of taking the oath of office. However, on past performance, you need to be a member of one of the two major parties, preferably the Republicans as they have had the better record of getting their candidates elected since, discounting Washington, no independent or lesser party candidate has ever won the Presidency, the nearest to doing so was Theodore Roosevelt who was runner-up to Woodrow Wilson in 1912 with 29% of the vote beating the Republican incumbent, Taft, into third place. However Roosevelt led a breakaway splinter party from the Republicans and had the distinct advantage of having been President before.\n\nIt is useful to have held some form of elective office, preferably a governorship of a southern state, judging by recent elections, and it would help if you were an incumbent in that post at the time of your election. You might also be a member of Congress although they have not got a particularly good record in becoming President unless they become Vice-President first. Only two incumbent US Senators, Warren Harding in 1920 and John F.Kennedy in 1960, have been elected to the Presidency (although Truman, Johnson & Nixon became President after being Vice-President) and the last US Representative to be elected President was James Garfield in 1880 (although Gerald Ford spent most of his career in the House befrore becoming Vice-President in 1973).\n\nYou should aim to be in the ideological centre of your chosen party since those emerging from either left- or right-field, although they may get nominated, tend not to get elected (viz. Goldwater in 1964 & McGovern in 1972). There are obvious exceptions such as Ronald Reagan but he had an extraordinary journey from being a New Deal Democrat and when in office he was not as extreme as his critics like to depict him.\n\nYou should at the very least have a college degree, usually in a liberal humanities subject, preferably at an Ivy League school. The first six Presidents shared the same alma mater, William and Mary College, although no President has studied there since. Although Yale did not produce a President until William Howard Taft in 1909 there has been a flurry of Presidents from that school in recent times comprising Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton and both Bushes who are either graduates of the main university or the law school (Hillary Clinton is also a Yale Law School alumna). You should also begin your career as a lawyer, the chosen occupation of the majority of the inhabitants of the White House as well as those who have taken up politics since the time of the Revolution.\n\nYou should be conventionally married with reasonably functional children. Although extra-marital affairs have not been a disbarment to the Presidency, especially in recent times (think of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Clinton- Cleveland even owned up to fathering an illegitimate child) you should aim to stay married. Only one bachelor, James Buchanan, the last President before the outbreak of the Civil War, has been elected President and only one divorcee, Ronald Reagan, although he had remarried\nlong before he contested the Presidency. A messy divorce probably cost Nelson Rockefeller his party's nomination to be President.\n\nWhile wealth is an advantage coming from a poor background is not a disqualifying factor: Lincoln, Hoover, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton were all brought up in straitened circumstances whereas inherited wealth proved to be a distinct handicap for both Nelson Rockefeller and Edward Kennedy when coupled with perceived flaws of character when they sought the Presidency.\n\nIt also is a distinct advantage to have been related to a President. Although FDR would have probably have succeeded in any event there is no doubt that his political career was greatly aided by his surname. Even someone who was brought up in comparative obscurity

In order to be elected President you must br at least 35 years old and be a citizen born in America. The 2 major political parties Democrats and Republicans hold a convention and nominate their choice for President. This is done by having "Primary" elections where the people vote and whom ever has the most votes gets the delegates (people who represent a State at Conventions)Each State has a number of delegates, the number depends on the states population. So after the promary the delegates from each state meet for a nominating convention. The person that has the most delegates will repersent that party in the general election. He or she chooses a running mate who will become Vice President. Meanwhile their is a group called the electorial college. Each State has a number of electorial college votes. When we vote for President we are really voting for the electorial college members...Example: Lets say Arizona has 6 electorial college votes then whomever wins the election gets those votes. Soon after the election the electorial college meets and tallys up the electorial college votes and the winner is elected President.\n\nConfusing?? It can be and I hope this helps

There is no set number.  A list of nominees goes to the voters, and only those who receive a 75% vote are elected.

If the American voters do not wake up and start supporting some of the other political parties, it could be. Voters need to get ballet access laws changed so it is not impossible for a third or fourth party candidate to get on the ballet. Also, other candidates should be allowed to participate in real debates, not these 30 second sound bite exchanges we have had for the last 3 or 4 election cycles. Only when a third or fourth party is included will real compromise and laws that aren't made for the extremes be passed by our Congress. Also, it is way passed time to get rid of professional politicians.
