Women as US president

KamJhagrahi

Hi !! I just want to increase my knowledge. Only three questions: 1)Can any one tell me whether there is any constitutional restriction on women, related to the participation in Presidential elections held in US?? 2) Am i right saying that there were no women Presidents in US in the past ??? 3) If second answer is yes, then was there any reason ?? Thanks in advance.

In theory any woman born inside the USA who has attained 35 years of Age when resgistering can try to become the practice. The reality is that she would get enough votes, as all the other females would try to stab her in the back. Regardz Colin J Davies

1. No, there aren't any Constitutional restrictions on women to participate in US Presidential elections. 2. Yes, you are right, there have not been any women Presidents in the past. 3. I don't think any women have run for President yet but I could be wrong. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

3. I don't think any women have run for President yet but I could be wrong. There was a vice-presidential woman candidate a few years ago, as I recall. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Mosely-Browne (I believe). She is a member of the very liberal contingent of the party. She is black. She doesn't have a shot. Stop the flame. The reason for my comments, re: black, no shot - she is a sacrifical lamb being offered by the party to hurt the chances of Al Sharpton who is aso black and also running. He has a good shot but less so if she continues, even with limited success. There are two women today who have a legitimate chance in the next 10 years. Condeleeza Rice and Hillary Clinton. Ms. Rice would be great. Mrs. Clinton a disaster. Mike

They are deathly afraid of Sharpton who, frankly is the only (running) Democrat with a personality. Chris Losinger wrote: why is that? Personal opinion, obviously. But I personally believe a Hillary campaign, much less a Hillary presidency, would define the word "Devisive" like it has never been defined previously. Mike

Howard Dean has quite a personality: maybe too much - i've seen him get pretty riled up a couple of times in interviews and speeches. and he's definitely more articulate and intelligent than Sharpton could ever hope to be. but the rest of them (Kerry, Gephardt, Edwards, etc), yes, are essentially interchangable. -c
