In the Constitution, delegated (expressed) powers are powers that are explicitly given to Congress. Implied Powers are powers that are not written in the Constitution, but are implied by the Elastic Clause.
The US Constitution places these qualifications on a candidate for President: 1. Must be at least 35 years of age. 2. Must be a natural born US Citizen. Actually, the Constitution does NOT place any restrictions on who may RUN for President. The Constitution does, however, place restrictions on who may SERVE as President. A person who is 33 years old, for example, could run for President and be elected President. That person, however, could not actually serve as President until their 35th Birthday. The Vice-President (assuming the Vice-President qualifies as President) would serve then served as ACTING PRESIDENT until the President-Elect attains the age of 35 years. This is covered in the 20th Amendment. The Constitution also restricts from SERVING as President: 1. Anyone who has previously been elected to the Office of President twice 2. Anyone who has previously been elected to the Office of President once AND served more than half of the term for which someone else was elected. An example of this would be a Vice-President taking over for a President who has died or otherwise been removed from office.
