===Eligibility===
Article VII, Section IV establishes three qualifications for holding the presidency;
*Be a natural-born citizen, or have at least one natural-born parent.

Furthermore, the candidate must not hold any offices before election day. All candidates serve for four years, and are allowed to be re-elected once, according to the "two terms then out" predecent established by [[James Shields]].
===Inauguration===
Both the President and [[Vice President of Costa Madora|Vice President]] begin their terms of office on Monday afternoon after the elections.

{{Quote|"I, (name and surname), solemnly swear as the new President of Costa Madora, to defend the sovereignty and independence of Costa Madora, to protect the people, their rights and freedoms, and uphold the Constitution of the Costa Madora."|Presidential Oath|}}
 
Although the Constitution does not specify the inauguration location, it has often been Salón de Selene of the Whiteburn Palace, in front of Victory Arch or in the National Assembly Hall of Parliament.
 
Presidents have traditionally placed one hand upon a copy of the [[Constitution of Costa Madora|Constitution]] while taking the oath, and have added "So help me God" to the end of the oath. Although the oath may be overseen by any authorized person, presidents are traditionally sworn in by the [[Chief Justice of Costa Madora]].
