Can my best friend legally run for president?

Yes she could. Article II of the US Constitution states:\n\n"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."\n\nSo now the question is: What is a natural born citizen? Title 8, Section 1401 of the US Code would conclude that yes, in fact she is a natural born citizen (assuming her father meets this condition):\n\n"(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person\n(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or\n(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date"

Running for what office? You can obviously run as much as you want if you're not successfully elected. \n\nA U.S. president can only be elected for two terms total, if that's what you mean.

Well, religeously there's no problem.  Morally, it depends on their ages.  We're going to assume that they are both of age.  In which case, yes they can get married.  But I suggest that either your friend waits until she graduates, or starts looking for a new job.  Marriage while she is still enrolled could cause him to be dismissed.

Yes, I lived in Virginia when he was first elected governor.  I'd like to see how far he could go with a run for the presidency.

Yes. A person should be allowed to run for or be president an unlimited number of times.

Although he may allegedly be qualified, the real question is wether or not he's capable.\n\nIf he does what he did in NY there is no chance of it.

Jeb has ruled it out at present, although the President encourages him to run.  It's not likely at all right now, according to most polls and opinion pundits.

He is a friend of Bush

YES YOU ARE ALLOWED ONLY TWO TERMS IN OFFICE AND THERE IS NO LAW STATING THAT THEY HAVE TO BE BACK TO BACK. BUT ONCE THOSE TWO ARE COMPLETE THEN YOUR WHITE HOUSE DAYS ARE OVER. AN EX PRESIDENT FOR INSTANCE CLINTON COULD NOT RUN AS THE VICE PRESIDENT WITH HIS WIFE IF SHE RUNS IN 08 BECAUSE IF SHE DIED THEN HE WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT IE BREAKING THE TERM LIMIT LAW.

He is the most promising politician in America, and eventually he is going to run for president. The case for running now It's just seems that it may not be the right time but then again it may be the best chance he will ever get. He needs at least a full Senate term before he is taken seriously but I think he should take his chances and run.

You cannot live the life of others and we all need to make our choices...this is part of our learing process. If you really want the best for this person..you present to him all the facts that you know are true..and let that friend make his or her choice..After all, isn't that a God given right??

You will not get an honest answer for this question. PC is what you'll get.\n\nRealistically. that's not going to happen anytime soon in USA. He'll not make it that far because he'll be assassinated when he's nominated.

Yes, he's fixing the election so that I can run.  Even though I have no prior political experience, and I'm only 25.  Osama bin Laden is going to be my running mate.
