According to the Constitution, someone who wants to run for president must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for at least 14 years, and 35 years of age or older.

Explanation:

There are also other stipulations about who is eligible to run for president of the United States. For example, under the Twenty-second Amendment, a person cannot be elected more than twice as president. In an impeachment, you can forever be disqualified from holding federal office, and you would not be allowed to become President if you swore an oath to support the Constitution, and later rebelled against it. This last condition seems specific but it was used against politicians who became Confederates like Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.
