What is the minimum age requirement to serve as President of the United States?

  1. 30 years old.

  2. 35 years old.

  3. 40 years old.

  4. 45 years old.

The correct answer is: 35 years old.

The minimum age requirement to serve as President of the United States is 35 years old. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the minimum age requirement set by the U.S. Constitution. Option A, 30 years old, is too young. Option C, 40 years old, is also too young. Option D, 45 years old, is above the minimum requirement but it is still not the correct answer. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it is the only choice that meets the minimum age requirement.
