Final answer:
To run for President in U.S. federal elections, a candidate must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and a permanent resident for 14 years. A House Representative must be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for seven years, and a resident of the state chosen when elected.
Step-by-step explanation:
The right to run as a candidate in federal elections in the United States is determined by several constitutional requirements. For the presidency, a candidate must:
- Be a natural-born citizen of the United States
- Be at least thirty-five years old
- Have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years
For the House of Representatives, a candidate must:
- Have attained to the age of twenty-five years
- Have been seven years a citizen of the United States
- When elected, be an inhabitant of the state in which they shall be chosen
Based on this information, the correct answer to who has the right to run as a candidate in federal elections is D. Any Canadian citizen who is at least 18 years old. However, this mistakenly refers to Canadian citizens instead of U.S. citizens. The requirements for Canadian candidates differ slightly from those in the U.S., and the question appears to unintentionally combine the two systems.
