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?

Or, you know, maybe some basic stuff, like not having committed treason, not having been convicted of 34 felony counts of fraud or been civil convicted of rape. Little stuff.

    Putin convicted Navalny of embezzlement to get him off the ballot.

    And 23 actual people, not Biden, decided to indict Trump and 12 jurors decided to convict him.

    Definitely throw him in jail, confiscate his assets. But laws work both ways and it’s important to keep that in mind.

    Likewise giving the president so much power seems to have been a detriment to both Russia and USA. But that comes with the territories of the US having FPTP and Russia being a multi party parliament under a dictatorial president.
