There are 300,000,000 Americans.

Realistic age range for election 35-75 = 40 year window of opportunity.

40 years / One election every 4 years = 10 opportunities.

At each opportunity, your odds are one in 300,000,000.

300,000,000 / ten opportunities = One in 30,000,000.
Does that 300,000,000 million include non-natural born citizens like Arnold Schwarzeneggar (spelled wrong I know )? If I had to guess I would say maybe 250 million are actually eligible to run.
