The Executive Branch - The Presidency

Picture
When most people think of the executive branch, they think of one of the most powerful and influential person in the world, the president of the United States of America. However, many people make the executive branch run, such as the vice president, the cabinet, and all the workers in the west wing. To become the president, constitutionally, you must be at least 35 years old, a natural born in the United States, and a current U.S. resident for at least 14 years. However, it is very unlikely that the average adult citizen over 35 years old will even have a slight chance because there is many unwritten rules that you should pass in order to have a better chance to become the president of the United States. These include being white, we have only had one African-American president and no Hispanic or Asian presidents, male, never had a female president, ivy league school, older, average president's age is 54 years old, protestant, and come from a lot of money.
