POTUS should be a job filled by people with regular careers who serve their term, then return to their careers afterwards, if they don’t wish to retire.
A POTUS who is a farmer will have unique insight on how to improve the lives of farmers. Then they go back to being a farmer too. Rinse and repeat for every other job. Doctor, college professor, cybersecurity professional, engineer, astronaut, etc, etc, etc.
Instead we just get career politician after career politician, usually with a background in law, or maybe finance.
There should be term limit reforms that also restrict ex-office holders from continuing careers as lobbyists* and other Capitol Hill creatures. Go back to your old career after holding office, or retire.
