Who Can Run for U.S. President?
Did you know that there are very few qualifications required to run for the office of the United States President? And, although we often see candidates with political backgrounds and affiliations, it’s not necessary. You could be a Harvard Law graduate or a high school drop-out, as long as you’re a natural-born citizen, over 35 years old, and have been a U.S. resident for 14 years, you can throw your hat in the ring! Learn more about this fascinating process on our website.
Key Points
- No academic qualifications are required to run for U.S. president.
- Your health and criminal record aren’t considered in the qualifications to run for presidency.
- Despite a lack of restrictions, becoming a U.S. president isn’t an easy feat and requires significant funding and support.
Having broad eligibility might sometimes lead to unusual candidates. For instance, Kanye West’s bid for the presidency highlights the wide-open nature of the candidacy qualifications. It prompts intriguing debates about whether additional requirements should be added to ensure the potential president has the right skills and abilities to lead the nation.
Key Lesson: While the requirements to run for the U.S. President are minimal, the path to winning it is indeed challenging and complex, often requiring substantial resources, strategic planning, and public support.
