Sure. There were lots of idiot kings and emperors and dictators, many positively feeble or insane. The advantage we have is the limit of two
4-year terms.John

You forgot:
E. You are not Ken Smith
So while you may be qualified to be president of the US, you are not qualified to be emperor of the world.

Since my name was mentioned: I would turn the military loose on spammers and online fraud. Those convicted would be sentenced to spend their time in the military at whatever hot spot needed bomb removal experts. If they fail to disarm a bomb, we just send in another spammer, or lawyer. ;-)

Yeah, but if you send spammers and lawyers in en masse, sooner or later they'll "disarm" the bomb/landmine/warhead, and solve one quanta of society's problems, rather than the subtle, controlled technique that only removes the bomb. ;-)

Oh, heavens! I don't want to be any kind of emperor - that's a misunderstanding of what the job of president is actually supposed to be.
The president is supposed to have two functions: Approve/veto legislation, and sign treaties. Oh, and be commander in chief if the Senate and House legitimately declare war. Two and a half functions. ;-)
Thanks! Rich

So, you've got all of these conscripts, shanghied from their homes and families, held prisoner without due process of law, subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, whom you've trained to handle unexploded ordnance.
Can you say, "Frag"? ;-)

Ok let call this "List A"
No lets call this "List B"
Since none of the items in List B are also in List A, I assume either:
(A) you will do things as predisdent that are not the stated purpose of someone being president
(B) you are making promices you have no intention of keeping,
(C) you intend to do both
So tell me, why do we need another power grabbing, promice breaking politician? We already have more than twice as many as we need.
