Read the excerpt from the US Constitution.No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.–Article II, Section 1, US Constitution
Answer
A
any US citizen who is at least 35 years old
B
a person who has lived in the US for at least 35 years
C
a citizen who was born in the US and is at least 35 years old
D
a citizen who was born in the US and is at least 18 years old
Explanation
The excerpt says a president must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and a U.S. resident for 14 years. Choice C gives the natural-born citizenship and minimum age requirements, so it is the best match. Choice A leaves out the natural-born requirement, and choice B mistakes the age requirement for a 35-year residency requirement.
