Rule one of politics: Don't train up your own replacements. Make sure you are always the most qualified person for everything. A good step to that is only hiring people without the qualifications they might one day use to replace you. How many representatives don't have college degree or at least don't claim to have degrees? Several do claim degrees they don't have, but I don't know of any that claim to have never attended some sort of post-secondary education.
