There are a few different ways to answer this question. One way is to look at the total number of five year olds in the world, which comes out to around 1.5 million. The other way is to look at the number of five year olds in America, which comes out to about 2 million.
So, if we assume that the average American five year old has an equal chance at becoming President, then we can expect about 1/2 million people who will be running for president at some point in their lives.
But that’s not really all that helpful because it doesn’t mean anything unless we know how many people are born each year, how many people get elected President, and how many years they serve on average.
