What are the regulations for being president of the United States?
542156
The President and the Vice-President are the only officials elected by the entire country. However, there are requirements for holding either of these positions. In order to be elected, one must be at least 35 years old. Also, each candidate must be a natural-born U.S. citizen and have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years.\n\nWhen elected, the President serves a term of four years. At most, a President may serve two terms.\n\nNOTE: Before 1951, the President could serve as many terms as he wanted. However, every President had followed George Washington’s example of stepping down after two terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt broke with tradition. Roosevelt successfully ran for office four times. Early in his fourth term, in 1945, he died. Six years later, Congress passed the 22nd Amendment, which limits Presidents to two terms.\n\nThe President can be removed from office through the process of impeachment. If the House of Representatives feel that the President has committed acts of "Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors" they can impeach him with a majority vote. An impeachment is very similar to a legal indictment. It is not a conviction, however, and not enough to remove the President from office alone.\n\nThe case then goes to the Senate. Overseen by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Senate reviews the case and votes whether or not to convict the President. If they vote in favor of conviction by a two-thirds margin, then the President is removed from office.

Technicaly, you don't have to sudy anything for a political career.  You do need public support, however, typically in the form of petitions in order to run for office.  Specific requirements may vary depending what position you're running for and where it is located (i.e. To be the President you have to be at least 35 years old).  While there are no specifc professions required, certain professions (i.e. Lawyers) will put you in a better position to start a political career.

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\nOnce you haved served for two terms you cannot serve again.\n\nPlease note it is by no means certain whether 'natural-born citizen' means that a person must be born within the USA or whether it simply means is a citizen of the USA by right at birth. Its meaning has never been formally tested and wont be until a person born as a US citizen but outside the USA runs for President and wins!!

state politics are decided by state constitutions.  The states can put whatever requirements they want on their Governor.  The Federal constitution, however, states that foreign born folks cannot be president.\n\nNo, Arnold cannot be VP.  To take that seat, he MUST be eligible for the presidency.  (There was a question a few years ago about Bill Clinton using the VPs office as a backdoor to a third term, but it was impossible)

According the US Constitution, in order to be in the House of Representatives, you must be "seven Years a Citizen of the United States".  For the Senate, nine years.  In order to be President, however, Article 2 says "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."  So to be in Congress or President, you certainly have to be a citizen.  In order to work in the bureaucracy, I believe the standard is much lower.  As long as you're here legally, and don't have a criminal background, you can probably get into most lower government positions.  Citizenship certainly couldn't hurt, though.

US Constitution section 1 article 2 states:\nNo 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\nYou don't have to be born in the U.S. or on U.S. soil, or your parents be on vacation, they just need to be U.S. citizens at the time of your birth and have you in the country before they become citizens of another.

Scoopmorgan is correct as the earliest Presidents obviously could not have been born in the US since it hadn't been formed yet. \n\nHowever, Scoopmorgan is not correct as the citizenship requirement was in the original Constitution, and not in an amendment. I believe the Constitution says that a person must be born a US citizen in order to qualify to be President. In that case, someone born overseas to US citizens is still considered a natural born citizen, and is therefore qualified to become President.

appointed! (B - sorta ... but it's not just that easy)\n\nArticle II, section 1, clause 6 of the Constitution, the ''Succession Clause,'' specifies that in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, or the simultaneous ''inability'' of those officers to act, Congress may by law specify what ''Officer'' shall ''act as President until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected.'' If a statutory successor is serving as acting President, Congress may, but is not required to, call a new presidential election.

There are several women out there right now with the nads to be president.  Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.?  One way to look at it is being a good mother.  To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth.  \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.
