I think a qualification for president should be that the person be a combat veteran. Only a person who has literally put his life on the line for this country should be entrusted to lead it. (I know, McCain and Kerry would have been qualified under this clause and would still have made lousy leaders, but overall I think it is a much better indicator of loyalty to the country than some obscure rule about where your parents were at the time you were born).

Also those who have witnessed combat are obviously more qualified to be commander in chief than those who have never lost a friend in a firefight and have never actually been on the ground to witness the horrors of war.

When I become dictator, I’m going to write that into the constitution in place of the NBC clause. As dictator I will have a pen and a phone and I can create the America I want. ;-)

When you’re dictator I’ll support you with my 24 stealth fighter jets.
