Do you have to go to college to be the president of the United States?

Answer 1

No. In fact, nine presidents didn't attend a school of higher education (college or university): * George Washington * Andrew Jackson * Martin Van Buren * Zachary Taylor * Millard Fillmore * Abraham Lincoln * Andrew Johnson * Grover Cleveland * Harry S Truman Further, Andrew Johnson couldn't even read until he was fourteen years old --- and didn't learn to write until after he was married. His wife taught him how to write when he was seventeen. In fact, the only real eligibility requirements for candidacy to the office of President of the United States (or Vice President, as the requirements are actually the same) is that the potential candidate not be a former president with two terms in office; be a natural born citizen, be thirty-five years of age or older; be a resident of the United States of America for at least fourteen consecutive years. A good place to look for more information is Article 2 of the United States Constitution, which can be found here: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/article02/
