And this interview process s far more thurough then any you'll see in the private sector. I mean, we learn everything about these people.
In addition, while I have my problesm with the policies of some of our recent presidents, and I may tell jokes that call into question Regan's sanity and Bush's intelligence, I don't think that any of our recent presidents were genuinely unqualified for the job. At least in the sense that I would be unqualified to be the CEO of IBM, or to fly a jet liner. If you think they've failed, its probably because either you don't agree with them ideologically or because its a really hard job.
Besides, what would you test them on? Intelligence? Knowledge of Politics and History? Managerial ability? Charisma?
