What is the minimum age requirement to serve as the President of the United States?

WRONG! This is the minimum age required to serve as a U.S. Senator, but it is not high enough to qualify for the presidency.

CORRECT!

The U.S. Constitution (Article II, Section 1, Clause 5) sets the minimum age requirement for the presidency at 35 years old. This rule was designed to ensure that candidates have enough life experience and maturity before assuming the highest office in the country.

WRONG! While some countries may have higher age requirements for leadership roles, the U.S. Constitution does not require presidents to be 40 or older.

WRONG! Unlike Supreme Court justices, who have no formal age requirement, the presidency has a clear threshold.
