what is the minimum age for a president
By virtue of the Twelfth Amendment, the qualifications for Vice President are the same. The Framers established these qualifications in order to increase the chances of electing a person of patriotism, judgment, and civic virtue. First, Presidents must be thirty-five years of age or older. In contrast, Senators must be at least thirty years old, and Representatives no less than twenty-five years old. Second, the President must have been a Resident of the United States for fourteen years. By contrast, to be a Member of Congress, one must be an Inhabitant of the State one is representing.
