The objectives of this lesson plan are to teach students the three prerequisites to becoming a United States president. It will explore and dispel some common misperceptions about the requirements for the presidency and will elicit thoughts and discussion on what criteria is important for the president of the United States. It will also motivate student interest in the office of the president, presidential elections, and prompt further research into the topic of presidential qualifications. First, tell the students that anyone can try to become president of the United States as long as they meet three basic requirements. These requirements are set out in the U.S. Constitution. First: Have each student write down on a piece of paper the three requirements they think all presidential candidates must meet. After students have had the time to write down their guesses, open up a discussion on the topic. Write the students' ideas on the chalkboard. Once you have listed a variety of answers, take a class vote to see which items the majority of the students feel are the most important requirements for a president. Next, inform the students of the three actual criteria presidential candidates must meet. a. The person must have been born in the United States, or be a U.S. citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted.
