Nobody who has ever run for the POTUS has won without the following credentials:

Served as Governor of a state

-OR-

Served as a US Senator

-OR-

Served as a General in the U.S. Military.

Since you have none of these credentials in your resume, I humbly suggest that you have the proverbial snowball's chance in Hades. Perhaps you should consider running for Governor of some state, or perhaps for the US Senate first?

Not *entirely* true.

Add "Member of House of Representatives" so you can claim Ford, Hayes, and Fillmore.

Per whitehouse.gov, Herbert Hoover had never held an elected office before becoming POTUS.

Lincoln never made it to the US Congress at all -or- was Governor of any state *or* served in the Military before being elected President.
