The U.S. Presidential Elections is a process that usually begins 2 years before the actual Election Day, when politicians draw up their plans by testing the waters and raising funds for their possible presidential bid.

However, since not just anybody can run for president, there are a couple of things an aspiring nominee should take note of.

Presidential nominees must be natural born citizens of the United States who have been living in the country for 14 years. They must be at least 35 years old.

Potential candidates who satisfy the given requirements are not yet assured of their nomination. The next step in the process involves a lot of money spent on advertising and state-by-state campaigning through state caucuses and primary elections in each of the country’s 50 states held from early in the year up to June.

By August, the two main parties (Republican and Democratic) culminate the nomination process by holding their respective National Conventions where each delegate is required to select his choice for the party’s candidate. The nominee who comes up with the most votes wins the party’s nomination.

Anybody who seeks the presidency should have not only financial stability but also determination and strength to survive the long and tiring process.

One elected, the new President then gets to elect a Cabinet as part of the new administration.

Will Jamie Gorelick be a possibility for the Cabinet of a Democratic President? Jamie Gorelick was the former assistant Deputy Attorney General for the Clinton Administration.

Will Joe Lieberman be on the Republican Cabinet after supporting McCain in the Republican Convention?

Here are some best friend birthday gift ideas that you may have never considered before.

1. For the art lover. Looking for something unusual for those folks who have everything?

2.For the wine lover. A gift of wine is an excellent expression of how you feel. Now, at many wine online merchants, you can have wine bottles personalized to show how much you care. It doesn’t matter whether this is your friend’s first time experiencing the wonders of the fruit of the vine, or if he is a serious collector with a large wine cellar. Or, consider a personalized engraved bottle of champagne and toasting glasses.

Every time your friend opens a book, he or she will remember you with a smile.

This thoughtful gesture will be considered by the recipient as one of the best friend birthday gift ideas ever!
