What are the requirements to run for President of the United States?

  1. At least 35 years old, natural born citizen, resident for 14 years

  2. At least 30 years old, citizen for 10 years, born in the U.S.

  3. At least 40 years old, resident for 20 years, naturalized citizen

  4. Any age, born anywhere, as long as they are a citizen at the time of running

The correct answer is: At least 35 years old, natural born citizen, resident for 14 years

The correct answer is A, as the requirements to run for President of the United States are outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Option A accurately lists the necessary qualifications as at least 35 years of age, being a natural born citizen, and having been a resident of the U.S. for 14 years. Option B is incorrect as the minimum age requirement is 35, not 30. Option C is incorrect as the minimum years of residency is 14, not 20. Option D is incorrect as the candidate must be a natural born citizen, not just a citizen at the time of running.
