Do you want to be the President of the US? - BBC News

Politics

YouTube Description:

The Pew Research Center has asked Americans to weigh the traits they want to see in presidents and presidential candidates.

Should a candidate have more or less experience working in Washington?

Should a president believe in God, and how much would it matter?

The results show what Americans want in a leader - and what they do not want.

The BBC's David Botti takes a look at the numbers.

I was actually a little shocked that being an atheist would only lose you 53%.

In a strange way i actually find that encouraging.

Have strong beliefs in unsubstantiated things, or we won't follow &/or listen to you. lmfao, if this was comedy, it would be brilliant.

Yeah, I wonder what the historical trend is on that figure.

Aside from the atheist thing, I actually thought this was pretty reasonable. I think a president who has seen military service is not undesirable; it would certainly make them think twice before engaging in further military adventures.

And equally, a college degree doesn't make you a good leader, or even smart.
