Question

What are the three requirements for President and VP?

Answer 1

Hint: The President of the United States of America is both the head of state and the head of government, as well as the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The vice president is generally regarded as a crucial member of the president's administration.


Complete answer:
The president has explicit authority to sign or reject bills, direct the military services, request the written advice of their Cabinet, convene or postpone Congress, offer reprieves and pardons, and accept ambassadors, according to the Constitution.

A vice president's sole constitutional responsibility is to preside over the Senate, apart from succeeding to the presidency in the case of a president's death or resignation. Vice presidents are not allowed to vote in the Senate, except to break a tie, and they are not allowed to address the Senate publicly until they have the senators' approval.

The three requirements for a person to be a candidate in the election as a President or a Vice President are:
- He/she should be 35 years old or older.
- He/she should have lived in the United States for 14 years (there is a debate on whether those years should be consecutive or non-consecutive)
- He/she should have been born in the United States or have a parent who was born in the United States.

Note: If the President dies, resigns, or is suspended from office before the end of the term, the Vice President takes over. In the case that the Vice President is unable to serve, the Speaker of the House assumes the presidency.
