Understands the machine? Only if s/he understands it and hates it.
I care about these:
1. Undestands the CONSTITUTION and wants to adhere to it.
2. Has GUTS.
3. Has good character.
Other than the above I could give a rip.
Yes, understands the machine/politics/constitution.
How do electric fences with machine guns on the border and Empowerment zones fit with the constitution?
