Article 2 of the U. S. Constitution creates the executive branch of the government. Clause 5 lists the three requirements for the classification for office of the United States Presidents. They are:

- the candidate must be born in the United States (a natural born citizen),

- the candidate must be at least 35 years old,

- the candidate must have lived in the United States for al least 14 years.

Clause 8 of Article 2 also requires the President to take an oath to do his best as President, and that he will do his best to protect and defend the Constitution.
