Title: Being President
Post by: _33 on October 10, 2016, 11:52:19 AM: Why is there so much importance on whether or not someone is "qualified" to be president? Basically if you just have common sense and are a decent public speaker you are qualified. I mean what else does the president even do? It's not like you need some particular set of skills.

They have an army of expert advisors in every subject at their disposal. It's not like that have to devise any plans on their own. Just choose between options A/B/C.

What if they all sound like a bad decision but you still have to make one?

I guess being president is super hard. I forgot that they had to not pick dumb morons to be their advisors.
