Although we, as Americans, tend to poke fun at our elected officials, especially our President, there are many hoops in which the presidential candidate must jump through before he/she can become president.  The Constitution explicitly states some of these qualifications.  Thus, these qualifications are called "explicit."  However, there are also "implicit" qualifications for the job of president.  These are requirements that are not up-rightly stated anywhere, but which our country generally follows.  Let me show you what I mean...
