Be a natural born citizen of
the United States.
Must have been a resident of
the United States for at least
fourteen years.
Technically, the rule is that a
person has to be born in the
United States as a citizen,
but there are questions
about that even!
This applies to at any point
in a person’s life --- not
necessarily fourteen straight
years.
Must be at least 35
years of age.
It is possible to serve ten years in office if
you take over for a President that dies
while in office, but he must be at least
halfway through his term or it counts as
full term.
A President may serve a
maximum of two full terms
in office.
Each term consists of four
years.
The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution
happened in 1951 after Franklin
Roosevelt won four terms --- it limits the
President to two terms
George Washington set the precedent at
two terms, because he did not want
people to view him as a King or
permanent figure.
