I am of the mind that any Senator that wants to be president should be immediately removed from office and taken to a mental institution until that point that the feeling subsides!
Being a U.S. Senator is the BEST job ever invented in the entire World. There are only 100 of them. Most are completely anonymous yet wield enormous power. It is almost impossible to lose the job, you only stand for reelection every six years and enjoy an unlimited supply of money to fight off any adversary. You get massive benefits and all the money that you can steel with virtually no chance of ever getting held responsible for your transgressions.
Why would ANY U.S. Senator EVER want to be POTUS?
Why Potus?

and a whole bunch more which the senators do not get.
