Not Qualified?

I hear it from both sides of the political isle and from every point between.  Including the numbskulls who have no clue,all  harping on the "Qualifications to be President."  There are a lot of numbskulls, idiots and Trumpeteers here in the wasteland.

Really? Did I miss something in high school?  Actually, now that I think about it, it would have been junior high.  Yes, I'm that old. I went to a Jr. high and not a middle school.  Although I transferred to a different school system between the 8th and 9th grades.  With the transfer, 9th grade was a part of the high school.  One room school house, 12 miles to school and back every day. up hill both ways.  Yada, yada, blah, blah, blah...

I digress.  Anyone surprised?  Thought not.

Article II

Section 1

 "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Amendment XXII

Section 1 

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."

Granted, I'm not a Constitutional expert, but aren't those the only real qualifications?  Hellsbells, even I meet those requirements.  No, I don't want the gig.  Don't ask.  I'll make my own Shermanesque declaration.

  "I will not accept if nominated 
and will not serve if elected."

William Tecumseh Sherman 

 
Sure, we want the leader of the free world to be smarter than a box of rocks, a lot less racist, misogynistic, hate filled and more capable than an angry orange bully troll.  Someone who can deal with everything she'll have to without throwing a narcissistic, egomaniacal hissy fit, crying about how small his hands are and how 'well endowed" he might be. 

Any similarities to persons real or fictional is purely intentional.

As always, thanks.

See you tomorrow.
