    There’s a reason most of the presidents we consider the best were former military. They have that experience. They also tended to avoid conflicts whenever possible. It’s not a coincidence.

        Not at all. Trump famously got a bullshit diagnosis of bone spurs to dodge the draft.

        The U.S. Constitution states that the president must:

        1. Be a natural-born citizen of the United States.
        2. Be at least 35 years old.
        3. Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years.

        Beyond that, it’s just what the people want to consider required qualifications.
