Requirements
To be eligible to serve as president, Article 82 of the Constitution specifies that the following requirements must be met:
 Be a natural-born citizen of Mexico ("mexicano por nacimiento") able to exercise full citizenship rights, with at least one parent who is a natural-born citizen of Mexico.
 Be a resident of Mexico for at least twenty (20) years.
 Be thirty-five years of age or older at the time of the election.
 Be a resident of Mexico for the entire year prior to the election (although absences of 30 days or fewer are explicitly stated not to interrupt residency).
 Not be an official or minister of any church or religious denomination.
 Not be in active military service during the six months prior to the election.
 Not be a secretary of state or under-secretary of state, attorney general, governor of a State, or head of the government of Mexico City, unless "separated from the post" (resigned or been granted permanent leave of absence) at least six months prior to the election.
 Not have been president already, even in a provisional capacity (see Succession below).

Powers
The 1917 Constitution was influenced from the Constitution of the United States. It made it clear separation of powers while giving the president wider powers than his American counterpart.  However, this has only recently become the case in practice.

Residence
The President's official residence and main workplace is Los Pinos, located inside the Bosque de Chapultepec (Chapultepec Park). The President has the right to use this residence for the six-year term of office.

Living former Presidents
There are six living former presidents. The most recent former president to die was Miguel de la Madrid (1982–1988), on 1 April 2012.
