14. Office, YES, POTUS, no
POTUS is more than just a talking head with charisma. Ability needs to be shown in accomplishments - at least in the same field that you have chosen to be CEO.

Articulation and Charisma applied to Reagan and Bush (although, I can't figure that one out, unless, you are just attracted to empty suits and dumbasses) That also applies to talk show, radio show, movie stars.....are all of them qualified to be POTUS????

Ability??? Many many people have ability, but how do you know that they have the ability needed when they haven't proven themselves in that particular field? When you analyze something, you need concrete evidence to make a conclusion. Where is the concrete evidence on this person possessing the abilities required for this type of job?

Furthermore, what, exactly are the abilities needed? Be specific. If you were listing this job in a newspaper, what qualifications would you list and how would describe the "perfect candidate", AND how would you describe the position as POTUS?
