Most politicans come from the private sector and do not have politicans for parents.
The only requirement for holding office is to convince enough people to vote for you.
Politicans are not elite. Few civilized countries treat them as such. I don't know why so many americans want to treat them like royalty.
Personally, I am in favor of stricter requirements. I want mutliple independently verified mandatory genius IQ scores. I want independently verified 'A+' grades on post-graduate world history, current events, science, and sociology testing.
That way people like GW, with more money and personal-connections than common sense, couldn't even get on the ballot; no matter how many times they invoke the name Jesus.
