CMV: It should be a requirement that you hold some form of public office, no matter how small, that you get voted into before being able to run for president.

It's clear that "Not being a politician" doesn't mean you'll make a good leader. Quite the opposite in fact. In order to run for the HIGHEST seat in government, individuals should be required to run for, get voted into, and hold public office. Whether it be state, city, or country government. A fucking school administrator SOMETHING that shows it's not about power, it's about representation for people you feel aren't being represented. It's hold office is a service. And holding the biggest office in the country doesn't change that.

Why does this need to be a requirement? If people don't want someone who advertises themselves as not a politician as president, the solution is for people to just... not vote for them.

If people would vote for such a person even if they didn't hold public office in the past, that is their choice, and people having the freedom to choose and vote for who they want as a leader is the main point of representative democracy.
