In Joseph Smith’s day unitarians were elected president. There were five unitarians elected president in the 19th century.
Today Unitarians could not be elected president. They have become total pond scum.
Oh, I think a Unitarian actually could be elected
POTUS today - well not today. Perhaps in 2012.
Could you float the names of any conservative Unitarians
who are so inclined?
Did your Unitarian comment have a connection to the
discussion we were having? If so, forgive me. I don’t
remember it on this thread, but I tend to get them
all confused.

We did not have much of a religious litmus test back in the 18th and 19th century. The only thing folks cared about was that the candidate in question was NOT a Catholic, Jew, or (later) Mormon.
The Quaker Nixon and the Mormon Romney were serious candidates for the GOP nomination in 1968. Unfortunately, a loud minority of a certain group of people who used to be the backbone of Bryant's support in the Democratic Party are now in the GOP, and never allow a Unitarian, Religious Skeptic, Quaker, or Mormon to have the nomination.
