“Oh here we go again. The average citizen is not equipped to hold office. She runs a business, and prolly has the ability moreso than most congresscritters currently there. And even that is not a requirement.”

I thought our founding fathers originally intended politicians to only be part time. For them to then go home to the real jobs in between governing.

We’ve come a long way down if even people here are saying that we need professional politicians

And have we forgotten about our president?

It’s not that the average citizen could not perform well in a public office, it’s that the American people usually prefer “experience.”
