Perfect Candidate

Things a President need:http://www.biography.com/articles/Barack-Obama-12782369

Article 2, The Executive Branch, Section 1, clause 5
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."

The United States Congress is dealing with the current President Barack Obama being the first African American President. Many people disagree with his views as well as him being African American. He has done nothing but try to balance things out from what the last President left behind. He has followed the Constitution of what a citizenmust have to become President.

This Biography demonstrates Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. In order to become President a person has to be a natural born Citizen. He or she also has to be at least thirty-five years of age. This gives plenty of people chances to become President to support the many views of the people. The biography tells about Barack's life as a citizen of the United States making him eligible to become the President. This Biography ties into the Constitution because it shows the things that a citizen of the United States must have in order for them to become President.

If anyone of any country and any age was allowed to run for the President of the United States things would be extremely different. The Government would be very chaotic because it would conflict with many people's opinions. I cant imagine how it would be if anybody was able to become president because we already have trouble now, just imagine someone fresh out of high school as President. Things would be much harder for people withstand certain living conditions. I am glad you have to be a certain age as well as a citizen because it keeps things in an organized fashion.
