None! The Constitution has no provisions on the matter. As to previous poster your refering to the rule for Senators & President. Not the Justices....

There is no prerequisite for Senator.  You do not even have to go to college.  For Senate you only have to be over 21, a US citizen (native or naturalized), and a resident of the state you want to represent for either four or seven years.  See Article 1 of the Constitution.

It takes at least 3 years, maybe more.  You must apply for citizenship; then the US government will check things like your criminal record, references you provide, and work or residence history.  If you are not deemed to be a danger to the USA or likely to go on the dole, then you can be granted citizenship.

"2. To begin a cause it is necessary for at least 5 years to have passed since the death of the candidate. This is to allow greater balance and objectivity in evaluating the case and to let the emotions of the moment dissipate.\n-------------------------------------\n\nI thought it was 15 years.

Here you go:\n\n"Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. \n\nSection 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,(See Note 15) and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State. \n\nSection 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability. \n\nSection 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void. \n\nSection 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

You have to go to four years of college, major in anything but political science is good, then pass a law school entrance exam, get accepted into a law school which takes three years to complete, then sit for the bar, which means you have to pass the bar exam.  After you pass the bar, you get sworn in and you are then a lawyer.\nYou have to pass the bar for each state that you want to practice.

You have to be a U.S. citizen, national or naturalised.  And you have to know how to spell and punctualise correctly.

The simple answer is, 8 years. But, I'm sure there is more to it than that, such as what you can do during that time. Immigration laws can be confusing I'm sure.

There is a law stating what constitutes American citizenship.  If you are born of an American Parent(s) or born on US territory (including territories that are not states) you are automatically as US citizen.  If you immigrate, register, take the required courses in English and US History, pass the tests, pass medical exam, after 10 years you can be made a Naturalized citizen.  Naturalized citizens can not become President (unless there is a change in the Constitution).\n\nIt is difficult for many Americans to break up a family (ie send one or both parents home and allow the US child to stay, or deny the US Child by having the child go home with its parents.  I think it's time to change that law to only children born of US citizenS, not just one US citizen.  Children of one US citizen get a front place in line to immigrate legally.
