no the president cannot have any physical handicap because he has to be able to do everything around him. your welcome for answering your question. (:
I think that you need to relearn history. We had a president in a wheelchair! I'll leave it to anyone who is interested to actually take the time to look up who it was and why he was in the wheelchair. This whole "can't be president if you are disabled" is not only a bunch of hooey but narrow-minded.
In the UK, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, has only one eye, and there was a UK minister (David Blunkett) who was completely blind and took his guide dog into the Houses of Parliament with him.

Yes, he was born deaf.
Deaf. Deaf just describes a quality about the person. But "hearing impaired," while it may sound nicer to some, actually implies that the person has something wrong with them. Plus "impaired" sounds a bit like someone who is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. As for the "hard of hearing," that or "people with hearing loss" are the preferred terms. Saying "deaf and hard of hearing people" is good for speaking more collectively about both groups.
The oldest permanent school for the deaf in the U.S is the American School for the Deaf or ASD. It was founded by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc on April 15, 1817 in Hartford, Connecticut.
