Vote up the factors that should disqualify someone from holding the office of president of the United States.

The United States Constitution only lists three actual requirements for an individual to become the president: the person must be over 35 years of age, the person must be a natural-born US citizen, and the person must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. Some voters believe there should be more stringent requirements to hold the nation's highest public office; others believe that even these constitutional requirements are arbitrary and needlessly restrictive. Where do you fall in the debate?
