Certainly a disappointing question.

The last elected president that came out of the U.S. Congress or Senate
was Nixon and he was VP under Eisenhower. So he had experience in the
executive branch.

Governors have experience in executive government.

Certainly a disappointing question.



Certainly a disappointing response.

So, in your opinion, the only person qualified to be president is a former
Senator, Governor, or Congressman?


i didn't give any opinion at all, and I didn't say that. You are saying
that. I only gave the historical perspective.

I also said that the last congressman or senator elected to president
was Nixon and he had also been a VP prior to that. That makes the last
5 presidents former governors.
