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?

I’ve not read the book or seen the movie only the memes.
In the book, civil service type jobs are fine if you can’t serve the military for whatever reason. But you have to put your time in working for the state.
