interesting poll

http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html
go vote. and be honest about your answer. whether you like the candidate or not. think about their qualifications.

qualifications for becoming president:
1. Must be natural-born citizen (but not necessarily born in the USA)
2. Must be thirty-five years old at least
3. Must have been resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
according to Article II of the US Constitution

Doesn't it seem like there should be more? More elected official office like governor or senator or congressman? College degree? Military service since you're going to be over the military? How can you command something you know nothing about?

If you stop and think about it, it took more qualifications for you to adopt. or for you to be in your current position (unless you work at fast food or mass merchandiser). or for you to get a loan for your house (you had to have good credit, right?).

Maybe our qualifications need to be updated to reflect the current times we live in.
