There are three requirements to be President of the United States.

There are three requirements to be President of the United States.
1) You must be a natural born citizen.
2) You must be at least 35 years old.
3) ....... Ah...... Hmmmm.... I can't remember #3?
:)

1. I don't think there is a 3rd requirement...

:shrug:

[Chan790]

2. There is.

You have to have resided (by legal residence, not actual residence) in the United States for the past ______ years.

Fifteen I think. It's the requirement everybody forgets because it never has been a factor.

Edit: I do wonder if Huntsman can meet that requirement...I doubt he was ambassador to China from an armchair in SLC.

3. 14.

:toast:

5. There is an article regarding the POTUS and VP to not be from the same state, but...

Cheney managed to slip through that one. Just the beginning of the lawbreaking from that crew of criminals.

7. The requirement is that electoral votes can't count from a state if both are residents

So technically, they weren't supposed to count Texas towards Bush's election.

Cheney reestablished his residency requirements in Wyoming for the election just because of that clause, but he still met the residency requirements of Texas. The wonderful court of that time ruled that it was close enough for government work.

8. Not close enough for me. The coup was working openly before Florida.

But thanks for the point. There were attempts made to get it through court, but it was derailed at every venue controlled by repugs. Until the nails in the coffin were hammered in by the Supreme Court.

9. Republicans only interpret the Constitution literally when it helps them.

It didn't in that case.

[freshwest]

12. They've now endorsed 'judicial activism' whenever people vote against their agenda!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks!

I did not know that.

I think Huntsman, being ambassador, would meet that requirement. After all, the embassy is considered part of these United States.

Isn't it?

:hi:

[hobbit709]

6. Embassies are considered territory of the countries they represent.

[trof]

10. 3. They have to love Jesus.

This is a Christian Nation.
It's in the constitution.
You could look it up.

11. I would say you must have a brain, but that obviously isn't true

Raygun had lost all his brain to atrophy and Shrub was either born without one or lost his to bad drugs and booze.

13. #3. electoral college has to like you, i think

[rurallib]

14. department of energy.

[dimbear]

15. You must hate the Federal Reserves System.

Ron Paul just whispered that to me.
