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?
Formal education is a shitty predictor of presidential effectiveness—one of the most academically-accomplished presidents was Herbert Hoover, and one of the least so was Abraham Lincoln.
