I like how you think. Now tell me how we make that possible.\nApparently, the only requirements these days are if you would make a good drinking buddy, are decent looking (by some peoples standards), or share their religious view.

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 (or a citizen of the United States at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted), be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.\n\nThe natural-born citizenship requirement has been the subject of controversy recently. Some commentators argue that the clause should be repealed because it excludes qualified people based on so-called "technicalities", and fails to appreciate the contributions made by immigrants to American society. Supporters counter that the requirement protects the United States from foreign interference — another country could send an emigrant to the United States and through subterfuge get them elected. Many prominent public officials are barred from the presidency because they are not natural-born citizens (for example, Secretaries of State Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright, and Governors Arnold Schwarzenegger of California and Jennifer Granholm of Michigan), as well as other well-known persons born in other countries who have done great service for the United States (Bob Hope). Constitutional amendments are occasionally proposed to remove or modify this requirement, but none has been successful.

Anyone can run for most public offices. Check your local laws. National offices have certain requirements that must be met. For example, to run for Senator the Constitution states:\nNo person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen.\n \nThe Constitution is a very interesting and informative document. Every American should read it.

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.

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.

In the United States a person must be at least 35 to be President or Vice President, 30 to be a Senator, or 25 to be a Congressperson, as specified in the U.S. Constitution. Most states in the U.S. also have age requirements for the offices of Governor, State Senator, and State Representative. Some states have a minimum age requirement to hold any elected office (usually 21 or 18). Most states will not allow ballot access to people who do not meet the age requirement of the office they are running for.
