And if it’s no big deal for a Vice President to be qualified, I’m wondering if someone will try to promote the idea that it shouldn’t be important for a President to be qualified either — since a Vice President can take the office of President without being qualified.

Good to hear that... I thought there was a big loophole there...

I guess President Arthur violated that provision two times in two offices...
