Explicitly, no. The rules are you have to be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years. To my knowledge citizenship can only be granted to humans though so in effect, yes
Somehow I don't think the people who were performing mayoral duties on behalf of the dog were hidden behind the scenes. Especially since it's a tiny little town; everyone knows everyone else.
I want the next installment of the Air Bud franchise to be Bud running for president. A fun for the whole family movie where love and friendship overcome the machinations of a bumbling narcissistic billionaire.

He was a good boy!
Apropos of nothing, is there anything in the US constitution that says the President has to be a human?
Yeah, ofc, none of them would qualify otherwise.

Depends on the definition of "persons"
The gerontocracy even extends to dogs smh my head

The unelected officials having the mayoral power behind the scenes were having laugh.
They could literally do anything and blame it on a dog.
And people kept voting for him because of being a dog.

Middle America will love it
And then when he wins, he starts bombing boats in international waters
Bud's gonna have to be pretty old. I suggest cryonics.
Bumbling narcissistic Nazi wanna be billionaire
They made him a little hat too!!
For an old, white, career politician, he looks exceptionally trustworthy.
I think a literal dog would be a better president than anyone we've had since Johnson.
uh, Andrew or Lyndon?
Only way to make sure they have a good mayor though, more precisely, it's a good boy mayor.
More seriously, it's another data point for the theory around politicians that "even a rock would do a better job".
