Question 1 options:

Answer 1

To determine the constitutional qualifications for being president of the United States, we can refer to Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:

1. The president must be at least 35 years old (I).
2. The president must be a natural born citizen (II).
3. The president must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years (III).

However, the statement "must be a naturalized citizen within the first five years of birth" (IV) is not a constitutional qualification for the presidency; in fact, it is not a requirement at all.

Thus, the correct answer includes qualifications I, II, and III only.

Therefore, the answer is:

I, II, and III only.
