100% agree, but of course the choice of who they "Can" put there is
limited. It "Should" be possible for any American to become President,
but it is not. Only by passing through a number of filters can this be
done because the system imposes eligibility rules that are as much
designed to preserve the system as anything else

The system has also learned to reward those with the wrong priorities,
not because there is some "Definition" of right and wrong but because
either is "Wrong" taken to excess. The system has "Evolved" to preserve
itself, and just as in real life the strongest is not always the "Best".
