No person should be allowed to hold the office of the President of the United States: 1- who is not native born , or ; 2 - who has never served honorably in the Armed Forces of the United States

I'd take Thomas Jefferson over just about anyone you could imagine to be President of the United States.

Serving as muscle for America's crony capitalism hardly strikes me as a qualifier. Doing so without even becoming cognizant of having done so strikes me as a disqualifier.

“Serving as muscle for America’s crony capitalism hardly strikes me as a qualifier.”

That kind of thinking clearly illustrates the need for establishing an honorable discharge as a prerequisite.
