Citizenship exam.
Any politician who can hold their breath under lava for more than 60 seconds can then submit the proper paperwork to begin collecting signatures to get their names added to the primary ballots.
They’d have to be able to run a sub 21 minute 5K. For no other reason than it’d remove a lot of politicians from the running (DYSWIDT).
Victoria 3 will be a good tell
My country does not have a president.
Has not owned more than one house. That’s it.
Can we just do a basic background check?
But I guess as long as they can remember: person, man, woman, TV, camera. That should be fine.
Trial by Celebrity Death Match. No explanination needed.
Suddenly the ultimate fighting champion decides to run for president.
LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
Hardest part is going to be transforming any presidential candidate into claymation. I suspect if we collectively put our heads together we can figure it out.
It might take a few tries, and we’ll probably lose a few politicians in the process, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take!
Some of you may perish but thats a risk I’m willing to take.
I’m sure there’s a mad scientist somewhere that can figure this out if we give them lightning and a bunch of random glassware.
Where’s Calvin’s transmogrifier when you need it?
I would give him some arranged test on cameras about what they would do if they were out fishing and saw a fishing accident; something random.
Then I would shake their hand and let them walk back to a parking garage with no bodyguards, lying that the test is over. On the way, an ugly person is crying in pain on the ground, looking very homeless.
If they do nothing to help, they do not have my vote. Most likely wouldn’t.
I probably wouldn’t bother. Here the president’s job mostly is a representative job, the only thing he can do is refusing to sign laws into effect.
While the system here isn’t perfect either, it does divide powers a lot more than in other countries.
I don’t vote for the president. What’s the use of “testing” him (whatever that is).
And this, dear lemmings, is why fascism and authoritarian have been gaining traction the past few years
I thought rise of fascism was mainly reponsibility of people who vote for fascists and candidates who have nothing to suggest to fight fascism and make people lives better but I guess I was wrong.
I think Americans ought to realise that the role of president in most countries is not similar to the US presidential role. In many countries they are inconsequential figureheads, heck, a lot of countries don’t even have presidents.
