I know this might run somewhat counter to the point of the site, but I'd love more information about what the effective qualifications for filling the positions are. Obviously any moron can get elected, but that doesn't mean I'd feel particularly good about, for instance, running for SF Public Defender without being a lawyer, or city treasurer without any background or knowledge in finance.
- Bedon292 10y agoI was actually thinking the same thing. Like it offered me the Attorney General position, but some quick googling shows me "...No person shall be eligible for election or appointment to the office of Attorney General unless he is a citizen of the United States, has attained the age of thirty years, and has the qualifications required for a judge of a court of record...". And I don't meet two out of three of those requirements.
- komali2 10y agoAt the very least the site should ask your age as well as your location. Otherwise, it'd show every US citizen as eligible to run for president, which obviously isn't true for anybody under, what, 35?
- anigbrowl 10y agoOr anyone who wasn't born a citizen. My wife came here when she was 2 but that makes her less of an American than someone who chose to be born here, apparently.
