Who is Stephen Miller?

Stephen Miller is a Senior Advisor to the President. What are his qualifications? The answer is important because this guy has considerable influence over President Trump and his policies, just like Sean Hannity except he gets paid for advice.

Sean Hannity is grossly unqualified for his job in broadcasting, much less as a political commentator. Why do Trump and some Americans go along with these people? I think it is because most people have no nothing about their resumes.

Furthermore, many Americans have no idea about how to evaluate resumes and credentials and to map them to specific jobs. That is why I wrote the book, How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2107 Archway Publishing.

Using the job of President as an example, I demonstrate how to evaluate candidates' and incumbents' resumes and qualifications.

Look at Stephen Miller's resume on Wiki. First, he is thirty-three years old. That might be alright if he is an extraordinary genius who has demonstrated accomplishments. Is there proof of that?

"In 2007, Miller received his bachelor's degree from Duke University, where he studied political science." 
"After graduating from college, Miller worked as a press secretary for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Congressman John Shadegg, both members of the Republican Party."

That's it. Sure, Miller expressed his views about immigration and homeland security policy. The problem is they are his opinions and lack scholarly rigor or vetting of any kind. He is a self-professed ideologue.

I know a hundred Republicans who not give this guy a job based on his resume. Here we are with President Trump following his advice. Is that making America great? I think not.

Compare Miller's resume with Valerie Jarrett who advised President Obama similarly. Observe Jarrett's law degree.
