Electing the president: Clinton, Obama test unwritten rule: Americans say they would elect a woman or African-American

Article Abstract:

The American constitution stipulates that a presidential candidate must be minimum 35 years old, a U.S. citizen residing in the U.S. for at least 14 years. All the Presidents of America, so far, were males and white but in the ensuing elections due in 2008, Americans might not hesitate voting for a woman or an African-American candidate for a president.
