Should it not be a prerequisite for the presidency that the person be a decent human being?

No. Most presidents weren’t and the ones that were, were ineffective.

It SHOULD be a prerequisite.

What is decent? And how do we get it to represent this country?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Not historically. Apparently not now, either It's never too late to raise our standards, though
Replying to @marwilliamson
Wow. Can’t believe you are trashing Joe
Replying to @marwilliamson
It would be nice, for sure. But what objective criteria is there to determine who/what is a decent person? Criteria that cannot be changed or different based on popular belief?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Nope. We've had "decent" Presidents and it still lead to this moment. We need Presidents that are not beholden to special interest and who doesn't take corporate bribes.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Not necessarily because that good & bad, right & wrong is perception,,, it is whatever the people want. If you don't want it get out and vote for whatever you want and get your friends to vote too. Morals and ethics are based on perceptions.
