You have to have been born in the United States to run for President, and be at least 35 years old. Actually, you can be a US citizen and still not have lived in the United States. You have to be an American citizen by birth, (meaning your parents CAN live somewhere else but if they are US citizens you are a US citizen), 35 years old, and lived in the US for 14 consecutive years. .
A person must be a US citizen, by birth, to hold the office of president. President Barack Hussein Obama has avoided many questions about his place of birth.
No, not at all. Many former US Presidents never served as members of the US Congress. Some were military generals, and state governors. Examples include Bill Clinton (Governor of Arkansas), Ronald Reagan (Governor of California). Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that a President must: * be a natural born citizen of the united States * be at least 35 years old * have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years
9 years
No less than 14 years.
9 yrs
In the constitution!!
If the person had unaccountably disappeared and the US citizen concerned was worried for their health or safety, then naturally they would investigate, as would any police force in any country. If, however, it was just that the person wanted to get in touch with an old friend or colleague that they hadn't seen of many years and wanted to see again, then this wouldn't be a police matter, and the person would have to try and find their old friend via other means.
A member of the House of Representitives holds a term of 2 years. While the term of a US Senator is 6 years.
Forever.

It depends on the countries they want to be a citizen of; whether they allow multiple citizenship or not. For example, one can have British, Canadian, America, Australian and Italian citizenship at the same time because all allow multiple citizenship. But, if the same person wants to become a German citizen, they must give up all five before doing so.
