The requirements of a candidate who's goal is to become president is:

•be a natural-born citizen of the United States

•be at least 35 years of age

•be a resident of the United States for at least 14 years

The pros of this are that the age requirement was set in to place because the Founding Fathers believe that a middle aged person has fully developed and matured. And that's true (but not all the time). The requirements also do not eliminate any person of any race or religion or sexual preference from becoming president. Any one can become president!

The cons of this are that it kind of excludes immigrants who dream as serving as president as this requirement was put into place so as not to be influenced by foreign administration.

I only have two pros and one con, sorry ...
