TAR: Presidential petitions

[T K Cassidy <TCASSIDY@WCPSS.NET>]

One of my AG fourth graders came in last week and stumped me good. I've been
searching for the answer to his question for quite a while and have decide to
ask you folks.

He wants to know how many signature need to be on a petition in order to for
someone to run for president. The only thing I have found so far is that there
needs to be a percentage of the voting populace from the states. That article
did not say if it has to be EVERY state or just a few or how large the
percentage is.

Help?

TIA
