Qualifications, Terms, and Benefits of the U.S. Presidency

The Executive Branch, led by the President, requires candidates to be natural-born citizens, at least 35 years old, and U.S. residents for 14 years. Presidents serve 4-year terms, with a maximum of two terms established by the 22nd Amendment. The tradition of "no third term" began with George Washington, though Franklin D. Roosevelt served four terms. Benefits include a $400,000 salary, medical care, a lifetime pension, and access to facilities like Camp David and Air Force One. Upon leaving office, former presidents receive support for staff and security for 10 years.
