Following Election 2020, I plan to write and publish an updated version of How to Select an American President by James A. George and James A. Rodger (c) 2017 Archway Publishing. Two changes are so significant I want to share them now.
First, I once believed that having corporate executive experience is comparable to having government executive experience. That must be revisited and refined.
Corporations are not governments. Managing huge international corporations with a diverse workforce might be comparable to managing the diverse government workforce comprising many different departments, agencies, and disciplines.
However, the business models are entirely different. Managing a large state government or big city government afford the relevant experience.
I will change my scoring method to give more weight to government experience and less to being a corporate executive.
The second change is about the characteristics of presidential candidates that include:
Character
Mental health
Physical health
Age
I will continue to research these areas and to draw from experts in the field.
On a personal note, I don't believe that the presidential candidates should be older than 57 years at the start of their first term. A president who succeeds in winning a second term will be retirement age 65 on conclusion.
The current candidates are too old for office.
