 AU.S. president must face serious, complex challenges, problems, unresolved conflicts of a multicultural country and world. And the current criteria in contemporary times are completely insufficient (even insulting) as qualifications to be expected to handle the grave responsibilities required of a U.S. (or any) head of state.

(a)   Natural-born citizen of the United States

(b)  35 years old (at least)

(c)   Resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

Consider these

Proposed mandatory qualifications for anyone to even consider being a candidate or serving as U.S. president:

(a)   Evidence of good character and no criminal record or conflicts/seeming conflicts of interest

(b)  Demonstrated soundness of mind and mental stability (a candidate should be required to submit to independent psychological analysis and testing)

(c)   Demonstrated skills, professionalism, presence of mind for interpersonal communication, civility and cross-differences deliberation

(d)  Sound credentials (beyond partisanship) in social, economic, political and/or statecraft matters

(e)   Learned in the U.S. constitution, federal structure of governance, and balance of powers

(f)   Demonstrated skills, knowledge and experience in executive (and/or legislative) public service office
