The process of selecting the President of the United States involves specific qualifications and political experiences as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Candidates generally have significant political experience, often as senators or governors, and are limited in campaign spending during primaries and general elections. While initially lacking term limits, the Twenty-second Amendment now enforces a two-term maximum. The role comes with substantial benefits, including a $400,000 salary, travel allowances, and lifetime pensions. Furthermore, a clear line of succession is established to ensure continuity in governance.
