Why are there no restrictions on who can be U.S president?

There are restrictions on who can be president

There are 2:

1: You must not be an actual blue whale
2: You must physically be on Earth during your presidency

But I mean proper ones. Idiot proof ones. NASA probably has good standards, maybe the presidency should use these.

Is this a joke? They have an electoral system and he won. That is how democracy works.

How he copes with being president will be interesting, especially whether he can deliver on his promises.

No they have to be a natural born citizen
Over 35

Out of interest who did you support in the election?

I didnt support anyone. There were only 2 candidates.

So why did they fail to implement a system to prevent people like Donald Dump getting in!? There's clearly to much controversy over him and this itself should make it so that he wasn't allowed. To take control over nukes and stuff, surely you would need to be squeaky clean.

This just shows how little you know on the subject there wasn't only 2 candidates

There is a system in place - the Electoral College. Delegates are not obliged to vote in agreement with the people of their state, but almost always do.

Whilst individuals may find the result concerning, a democracy has to respect the outcome of a free and fair election. I just hope that the remaining checks and balances stop the more outrageous of his pronouncements.

The U.S has speed limits, laws against shoplifting and all the usual stuff we also restrict or ban. So why did they fail to implement a system to prevent people like Donald Dump getting in!?

There was Hillary and Trump. I havent seen anything on tv about any other candidates, maybe they were just the main ones? When showing the results, it only showed the results for those 2.



Its those remaining checks should have been used in the 1st place. A democracy should respect the outcome of a free and fair election, but at what cost? Trump should never have been eligible in the 1st place, or at least removed during the later stages of the election along with Hillary who was also a shower of..............

Just because you don't like the result. What your saying is like me saying that I think the US should prevent democrats getting in ! Lets turn into a one party state. Please don't cry , he WON the election fair and square. Please don't cry when you don't get the result you want. Hypocritical liberals. Should we just ban every right wing person running for office just because you believe they'd be dangerous. It works both ways , many people believe left wingers are dangerous . It doesn't mean they are.
You obviously don't believe in democracy . Don't like it? Then go to another country! The American people chose Trump as their president and that's what they're getting whether you like it or not.

because leaders are allowed to be controversial in a free and open democracy. democracy is not a system that forbids polarising topics and actors - democracy has been and continues to be very polarising as a concept and as a practised institution. some are very passionately left wing, globalist, multiculturalist etc while others are very passionately right wing, democratic and nationalist - if this is the case, why is a president like trump inappropriate when he clearly represents one significant category of society?

and how was hilary clinton not controversial with her endless scandals?
"take control over nukes and stuff" - hilary clinton openly wanted a WAR WITH RUSSIA over syria. get your ****ing priorities straight here. she would have clearly been a far more dangerous president.
