Did Eisenhower have executive experience? I don’t know if he had run for any elected office after the war or not. His experience was limited to military experience, I seem to recall.

Gotta brush up on my history!

Yes.

General of the Army gives executive experience. Being a low level officer, even in the Rangers, is only middle management.

Being a General in the Army would qualify as having executive experience, since a general has to oversee thousands of soldiers.

There hasn't been a Senator who was a President since President Kennedy. A Representative hasn't been President ever, if I recall correctly. Since the 20th century, a large majority of the Presidents have been governors - largely because of their administrative experience.

What is laughable is ? I saw Bill Clinton on TV yesterday at a campaign rally for Hilary and said that she has more experience than anyone else out there to be POTUS ( he sure fooled the sheeple and brain dead ).

Being a general is a kind of executive experience.
