I am assuming that you want to run for President of the United States of America. According to the Consitiution of the United States of America in Artilce II, you must be a natural born citizen of the United States of America, at least 35 years old, and you have to been living in the United States of America for at least 14 years.

Yes.\n\nIf you work really hard at it, you can probably will yourself to make some political connections by 2008 and earn yourself a spot as one of your state's electors.

One would hope the only reason a person would seek the job as president would be because they feel a difference could be made through their service. No, I'm not man enough for the job... but then again too few of the presidents we have elected have been either.

I say GO FOR IT!!! Just keep in mind that only 1 in thousands of people who have dreams of turning pro actually do. With that said, you could still do it. Statistics only mean so much. However, just in case dont put all of your eggs in one basket. Meaning, dont put all of your energy and time into just this one goal. I know you have heard this before but make sure you get a good education. At fourteen you dont totally understand that but one of these days you will. I didnt know how important education was either at your age. I also agree with another poster who stated learn how to talk respectfully. In your little clique talking like that is all right. I understand it is a cultural thing however many people in the dominate real world look down on that. I'm not saying that to put you down though - just something for you to keep in mind as you grow up.\n\nDaniel

Yes! Mature ones anyway. You care about the world you live in and politics is a big part of it. Younger people tend to be self-obsorbed and at your age your eyes start to open up to what's going on around you. My 16 year old daughter is interested in politics also. You are the next generation and you can play a very big part in changing the way things are. Good luck to you! You sound like a wise guy (meant in the best way) Never care about what seems normal and what isn't. You are you and thats a good thing. Be comfortable in your own skin and never let anyone tell you how you should be. Later in life it doesn't matter what anyone says. I know 16 is a pretty rough age with peer judgements. Don't worry about it too much. It all goes away.

The nominating process is not a government action, it is a political action. Any U.S. born citizen of at least 35 years of age may run for president. The nomination process is for party affiliation.

I shouldn't be and wouldn't be voted USA president because it is an awesome responsibility that seems to make individuals noticably age quickly.  If this by some miracle happened anyway, I would choose my running mate to be Ruth Graham (Billy's wife) because she would back me in prayer and know how to be gracious in public!

For the last few years it appears that In the US to be president  you have to:   be at least 35 years old, know the basics in reading, speak as if you've never completed elementary school, be married to a woman and be a Christian.  Oh and can't forget, must have a ton of your father's money at your disposal.\n\nIf you can cover those basic rules, you'll be golden.

I seriously hope she couldn't. People NEED to have experience working in politics before they should be allowed to run for president. At the very least, she should have to work her way up. Then, I believe she would have a very good chance.

Don't set limits by your age. Do what you want to do when you are ready to do it and not a moment earlier.

Good for you...I personly think a 12 year old could do a better job than alot of our politicians...keep up the good work.

It all depends on the state.\n\nIn my state, you have to be 30 years old. Other states are 25-35.\n\nGood luck if you wanna run someday.

its not like you need to go to college for it . You only got to know the right people at the right places. The best way to start is to get into politics.If your candidate wins and he feels like doing you special favors then your in ...if not try 4 years later
