i'd be in favor of an amendment requiring 4 years in a public service role to qualify for being president
Seems we could discuss a large number of restrictions that would plausibly improve candidate pool, but why not just let the market decide?

Because a big part of the political market is the construction of the choice set before the market gets a say, and also...
-
some aspects of market manipulation (ie advertising and isn't-this-unusual coverage) favor this particular segment of underqualified peeps
-
Seems like one way around this is strengthening parties by abolishing or sharply limiting primaries, like in the old days More feasible too
-
Wouldn't this remedy be even more hostile to outsiders? I'm not necessarily trying to oust outsiders, just those with no experience
-
Just seems more flexible long term I guess I tend to hate using amendment remedies for small things de minimis non curat constitution
-
Fair enough
