It seems to me the obvious next step.
I mean if other jobs requirements like IT and even accounting had started asking for more certifications and experience to work, then why the heck shouldn’t presidents get asked to be more qualified for their jobs?
Better question: Why don’t we just pull like 501 names out of a hat from the general public and let them be the “political class” for 4 years at a time? Seems all we’re doing is injecting a layer of corruption as it is.
Most of the successful countries who did this only pulled from a small elite part of society. It was like rich people jury duty.
