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

The electoral system has failed. There doesnt appear to be a fail-safe either, hence why he won. Like I said, only squeaky clean people and without major controversy should be eligible. There will always be disagreement in any election, but this one has been beyond ridiculous.

I agree there should be an iq test or something.Every other job you have to prove you are qualified for the position and have the skills to do the job.Apparently the job giving you access to actual nuclear weapons is a popularity contest.America decides their presidents on who looks and sounds the best and on who has the most money.Quite frankly it is a stupid system.And before anyone says its the will of the people,the vast majority of people are pretty stupid.There should definitely be basic requirements.For starters a president who doesn't think global warming is a hoax and listens to science would be nice.Also not one who asks why we cannot use nuclear weapons.

I already mentioned that she too was a shower of feces. Its up there in one of my previous posts.Post 12 specifically.

Touched a nerve did I? Ouch!

"The American people chose Trump as their president and that's what they're getting whether you like it or not."

I choose Like It Not. Anyway if the American people choose Trump, why is there so much aggro about booting him out?

It could have been worse I suppose...

It sounds reasonable on paper but it's a slippery slope. A person standing for office is entitled to hold whatever views they like, it's up to the electorate if they agree with them or not.

I disagree.If you give someone the theoretical ability to singlehandedly wipe out the human race then you should make damn well sure that they are competent.They can hold whatever views they like within reason.I think it's fairly reasonable to expect that he doesn't think a major global crisis is just a hoax.I think there is definitely a better way of doing it than the current version.Democracy is not some sacred idea that cannot be made better or changed.

But who decides what views fall within reason?

It boils down to common sense. For example having sex with a woman is pretty reasonable. Its also quite essential. Rape however isnt within reason. Im not saying Donny Dump is a rapist. I will even take his minge grabbing comment as banter. I say some right crap myself at times, but I would make a rubbish leader. I cant even win an argument.

"...to single handedly wipe out the human race..." Statements like this are what has been wrong with this election from the very beginning. If you lack anything constructive to say, anything with any truth or merit to it just make up something that sounds like it might be true and say it with conviction over and over, ( .."make damn well sure they are competent.", and hope it sticks. You guys are suppose to be smarter than this.

He could.He has like 7000 nuclear weapons at his disposal.Russia has another 7000-8000 .If he launches nukes then russia will also launch nukes.That would cause a nuclear winter and wipe out humans.So yeah he could singlehandely wipe out mankind.He is commander in chief isn't he.If he says to do something then they have to do it.How isn't it true?

Your fear mongering comment sounds like it was written by a 5yr. old. You made it sound as though Trump, or any President, can wake up one morning in a bad mood and decide to nuke Russia. You should know better. Yes, thankfully he is the Commander in Chief and yes, he would make the final decision to launch. However, if I were you I would find comfort knowing Trumps finger is on the button. The reason is that Putin could march into any country of his choosing knowing there's no way obama would ever use nukes. He's maybe not so sure with Trump. So maybe he might watch his behavior. What good are nukes if your adversary is positive you won't use them?
