    Can we just do a basic background check?

    But I guess as long as they can remember: person, man, woman, TV, camera. That should be fine.

    I would give him some arranged test on cameras about what they would do if they were out fishing and saw a fishing accident; something random.

    Then I would shake their hand and let them walk back to a parking garage with no bodyguards, lying that the test is over. On the way, an ugly person is crying in pain on the ground, looking very homeless.

    If they do nothing to help, they do not have my vote. Most likely wouldn’t.

    Any politician who can hold their breath under lava for more than 60 seconds can then submit the proper paperwork to begin collecting signatures to get their names added to the primary ballots.

  • We don’t have “Presidents” here but rather Prime Ministers. but:

    Proper background checks. too many cases of people in power putting on a friendly face to get elected only to reveal their true nature right after being elected. if they are actively supporting people with anti trans (ie JK Rowling) or pro Zionist/genocidal views while saying “I’m a trans ally” that’s a red flag you’ve got a candidate who isn’t honest

    I probably wouldn’t bother. Here the president’s job mostly is a representative job, the only thing he can do is refusing to sign laws into effect.

    While the system here isn’t perfect either, it does divide powers a lot more than in other countries.
