Would you let the average poster on this forum be a politician/president?

You have now cast doubt in my mind so....definitely not.

I doubt you have more experience than the man child in the oval office.

Would I let them be a politician? Yes, as long as they're constitutionally able to do so, they should absolutely be considered and allowed if they run.

Would I want them to be a politician/president, let alone one that represents me? Oh Christ no.

Do you mean vote?

The Constitution determines minimum requirements.

I don't think many are even considering it; so it question is moot. No politician would be so honest in giving opinion whether you agree with it or not.

Minimum requirements?

Screw minimum requirements, we have a Kenyan-born with forged birth certificates as president!

/s

What I mean is, is it really a bad thing that there is such a disconnect between the common person rambling on city-data and a politician?

Sure. I'm not going to vote directly for a forum poster here to be President or anything like that, but sure I'd vote for a forum poster I liked for city council or something such as that.
