What job experience would you like to see in a Presidential candidate?

[Yonadav]

A law degree and significant government experience, like being a senator or governor, should be minimum requirements these days.

Totally disagree about the law degree. A president does not need legal expertise. They have an abundance of legal talent on their staff. What lawyers are best at is making work for other lawyers. That doesn't exactly foster a mentality that makes for good leadership. We already favor lawyers far too much for public office.
 
I would ordinarily agree about the need for government experience. But the times might call for something else. I am delighted with the housecleaning that the Justice Dems want to do. It would be really good for the country to have about twenty percent of congress be represented by regular people who are in the lower economic quintile and aren't legal professionals. And I would like for those people to be potential presidents.
