Brazil elected an illiterate clown to be a national congressman. Well, technically Sao Paulo elected a clown who scored 30% on a literacy test to be their congressman. I think he received the second most votes ever for that particular elected position. One of his slogans was "what does a congressman do? I don't know, but if you elect me, I'll let you know."
We should elect a President like that. Every day he can have a press conference where he explains recent events and how he, nor any other man who could have been elected, played no part in those events. In case I'm being too vague, what I'm saying is that the President is a figurehead and the massive bureaucratic infrastructure combined with the oft-lamented 1% determines policy. It's not the President, nor the electorate, nor the illuminati. Although it can be the electorate but only if not doing what the people want results in the loss of income for rich or government people.
So to answer the question, I don't care that Scott Walker doesn't have a degree. What I do care about is that he would be a meaningless figurehead. The only kind of man who would make the Presidency meaningful is the kind of man who would have the guts to expose the meaninglessness of it all.
