Which of the following is not a requirement in order to become President of the United States?
  1. At least 35 years old.
  2. A citizen.
  3. Born a citizen.
  4. Resident in the US for at least 14 years.
  5. Previously held elected office.
Explanation
Answer: E - Although it is usually the case, there is no constitutional requirement that a president previously hold elected office. Perhaps the most controversial requirement is that the President must be born a US citizen. This excludes a lot of highly-qualified citizens from becoming President who were at one time immigrants, including several current and former state governors.
