You’d have to get it to 35, but technically we could have an Air Bud POTUS. The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency — the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years. https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/the-executive-branch/#:~:text=The Constitution lists only three,for at least 14 years.

On the dystopian side, perhaps this also means a corporation could become POTUS.
