I'm pretty sure I want credentialing requirements for anyone running for any public office. I'd settle for automatic exclusion of anyone displaying narcissistic, psychopathic, or sociopathic tendencies and inclusion of rational pragmatists.
I would also "settle" for picking the people I like.
Also, pretty sure that you have to be at least somewhat narcissistic to think that you should be president, and somewhat sociopathic to actually succeed.
