I have long believed that there need to be stated qualifications in order to run for/hold the office of POTUS.
Simple things like being able to pass a citizenship exam similar to the ones immigrants take in order to obtain citizenship.
A basic understanding of world and US history.

The ability to obtain a top secret security clearance. NOT BEING INDICTED FOR TRYING TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.
Being a natural born citizen and over the age of 35 is just not quite enough.
