Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:

In Celsius degrees, if the subtrahend is normal body temperature and the minuend is absolute zero, the difference between the numbers is -310. (-273 - 37 = -310)


Today's Question:


Under Article Two of the Constitution, what are the three principal qualifications to be eligible for election as President of the United States?



I don't know this one. I know that intelligence tests, taxes, and possibly land ownership were required at one point by racist predessecors to keep black people from voting but I think that came after the main document was written, with abolition, and I think that was only in some southern states. I believe though that initially one had to be 18 or some other age and male, but those are also guesses.
