I don't think so, because a bachelor can't even contest for a gubernatorial seat to talk more of presidential seat.. |

Mbkite:the society will never frown at it... but it's very rare for a man to remain unmarried and vie for the highest office in the country. Unless maybe he was married and his wife died making him a widower. |

constitutionally/legally? Yes society? No, he will never even smell his party nomination except he is the owner of the party. Imagine that gej was a bachelor when those kids were kidnapped, and waited for 19days or so to react, sincerely, he would have been the first president to be impeached. our society doesn't support such for now. |
