Answer:

King Leopold II was the ruler of the Congo Free State, and the King of Belgium. He was interested in the Congo river basin because there were many natural resources such as rubber, minerals, ivory, diamonds, and gold. Keen on establishing Belgium as an imperial power, he led the first European efforts to develop the Congo River basin, making possible the formation in 1885 of the Congo Free State, annexed in 1908 as the Belgian Congo and now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

According to the Constitution, which of the following is a requirement to be a candidate for president?
notka56 [123]

answer

The President of the USA is not required to have ever held any office

or been elected to anything.  A candidate's level of education or training

for anything is irrelevant, and it would be totally un-American to impose

any sort of religious test.

In fact, a candidate for president is not required to have any skills, talent,

ability, experience, or qualifications of any kind.

The only constitutional requirement is that the candidate will need to turn

35 years old by the time s/he takes office.
