The qualifications you've provided can be categorized into formal and informal qualifications for a position, likely in politics or public service. Here's how they can be classified:

Formal Qualifications

  1. Be a natural born U.S. Citizen - This is a legal requirement for certain political offices, such as the presidency.
  2. Lived in the U.S. for 14 years - This is often a specified requirement for various political roles or candidacies.
  3. 35 Years of Age - This is also a constitutional requirement for the presidency and other offices.

Informal Qualifications

  1. Well developed public speaking ability - While essential for effective communication in leadership, it is not a formal requirement.
  2. Well educated - Education can significantly enhance a candidate's understanding of political issues and governance, but it is not a formal requirement.
  3. Political experience - Experience in political roles can greatly influence a candidate's effectiveness and appeal, but it is not a formal legal requirement.

This distinction helps to understand what is required by law versus what enhances a candidate's potential for success in a role.
