Elections and How I Believe They Should Be Decided

O.K. so here's an idea I've had for a long time and more over I truly believe this would be the best way to find the best "man" for the job.

  First off, think about how long a president is in office, four years right? And what else, for the most part, takes four years to complete? 

College....with exceptions of course, hence the previous remark, for the most part.

 Now, when a president is elected the hopefuls (the candidates) running for president are simply getting ready by collecting money, making ads, and speaking to those that will listen, or to those (rich folk) that can further there career........with money.

  All it takes for someone to have the best chance at president is money, that's the sad truth, which is why I was pissed that they lifted the cap on how much one person could give to a candidate. As soon as that happened, like clock work, the attention went from most to some, some with money, lots and lots of money. The candidates where booking speaking events for an audience of one with the hope of getting the richest of the rich on there side. 

 With that said, here's what I truly believe should be the process for someone to become president.

   1. Start up a "Presidential University" with the classes and test being grouped into many different subjects all to do with running a nation, with being the president 

• these "classes" should range from heath care, to diplomacy, to economics, to public speaking, to......well you get the idea.

   2.  Have the candidates attend this "University" for.......you guessed it, four years.

   3.  The candidates will be graded on %, from 0% to 100%. 

   4.  At the end of the four years all of the candidates grades will be posted on some sort of designated web site where the public can view them them easily.

   5.  Have the page set up like a spreadsheet with the categories or classes on the top and the names of the candidates on the left side. Then have the grades for each class going across the page from left to right, obviously.

   6.  Then have a section on this website showing what or country needs the most also in categories, also from 0% to 100%.

This way we can see what each candidate is capable of doing and how well they will run our county by matching there "grades" with what our country needs from them as president. An Example, say our country had high unemployment, large debt, bad health care aaaaaannnnnnd, I don't know, gun control or something. then we could simply find the candidates that excelled or did the best in those areas, and base our votes off of that information as well as looking at things like there ability to lead this country intelligently with the knowledge now known by looking at how they did overall. 

After they are done being assessed the election would go on pretty much as usual, we find the best candidates for the job of president, vote, have them then debate, then we make our final decision for the next leader of the free world.    

  The reasoning behind this is simply, to give voters the knowledge and the best chance of being able to find someone truly capable of not only running this country but also to help it's citizens by bettering there future.
