I believe our country would be better off without career politicians. CMV.

I think that in virtually every way possible, it would be better if our elected officials were lawyers, businessmen, veterans, teachers, or many other professions. While politicians have more knowledge over how legislation works, and how to effectively use their position, I still feel that we'd be better served by someone who has shown in the past that they can be effective outside of a politicians role, instead of just assuring everyone that they know what's best with nothing to back it up.

Politicians already do tend to be lawyers or busniness men. For example, Obama is a lawyer and he was also a professor at the University of Chicago Law school, so there you have a lawyer/teacher. Romney was a the CEO of Bane Capital so there you have a business man. Many are also veterans, such as John Kerry and John McCain.  

It is pretty important for politicians to be lawyers, or at least understand the law, because they write it. Which is why a lot of them have law degrees.
