The US Senate doesn't work for the President. They're part of independent branches of government.
- ghostbrainalpha 8y agoAnd it's beyond naive to think Zuckerberg could ever win for President. Just because Trump could do it, doesn't mean Zuck could. You have to be likeable. You have to be good on camera. He was the villain in his own movie for gods sake. Conservatives hate him because he is a liberal nerd. Liberals hate him because he is a corporate tool. We will accept stupid. We will accept dishonest. We will accept mean. But we won't accept entitlement or arrogance. There is nothing less popular than a genius or wealthy person who knows they matter more than normal people and acts like it. Trying to act like a "normal person" is the most important part of being a politician. He will never do that to an acceptable level. He may have an advantage no one else does, with demographic info from Facebook. He may be the person who could basically appoint any person he wants to the office of the Presidency. But that doesn't mean he could appoint himself.
