1. a woman - 40%
2. Hispanic - 20%
3. African American - 10%
4. Asian American - 10%: the nation is probably ready for an Asian president now, but a shortage of viable candidates means that we'll probably have to wait a while
5. member of a religion other than Christianity - 15%: Christianity probably won't be as dominant as it is now
6. openly agnostic/atheist: 3%: Atheism and agnosticism will be less stigmatized than they are now, but there will still be bad feelings towards atheists
7. openly homosexual/bisexual - 2%: the nation will probably be ready for a gay president around 2040 or so, but lack of viable candidates will mean it will be much longer until we have an openly gay president
8. transsexual - 0%: this is one prejudice I don't see going away
9. not married - 3%
10. without children - 5%
11. younger than 40 years - 1%
12. older than 70 years - 10%
13. a naturalized U.S. citizen - 0.5%
14. someone who has previously travelled to Earth's orbit - 20%: space tourism is primed to take off, and it will be feasible for most middle class people well before 2061

Ah, sorry, I meant each category by itself, rather as taken as a whole ... sorry. My rankings would be different if that were the criteria.

.9*.8*.6*.7 = .3024 = 30.24%, which is still too high. Consider that:
- there have been no female presidents
- there have been no Hispanic presidents
- there have been no presidents under 40
- the last president with no children was James Buchanan
