I thought you had to be 35 years old to be President.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of president. A president must:

* be a natural born citizen of the United States;[7]
* be at least thirty-five years old;
* have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

Cool, I thought so. Didn’t think they raised it to 45 just yet, although with the longer lifespans of today versus the 1700’s, it might should be.

Oops, my bad. But I'm good at that. Look before I leap, etc. My Mom was always pointing that out to me! She's gone now, but I'm sure she's nodding approvingly at your catching my gaff!

Thanks!
