I don't think many people look up to USA and think "oh yeah, that's a great system, we should have it". Many systems cannot be replicated for cultural, historical and other reasons. Frankly, requiring basic qualifications for a very complex job is actually a solid thing. Especially when any trade school/university degree would work. I don't agree with revoking of the degrees part, but that's just government trying to shut down the opposition. If it wasn't for the degree, they would've done something else, just like it happens during every election.

I think many people actually do look up to the USA given the hundreds of millions who want to migrate here. I will give you that culture matters when it comes to political systems. However, there are no arbitrary qualifications or certifications worth imposing on a country's leadership. They are blatantly gameable and trivially corruptible, as seen in the example. Leadership qualities are apparent in their own right and can be earned from a diverse path of life achievements. Those might include founding a successful business, acting as a general, major, or captain in the military, inventing new products or technologies, running a charity, heading a police or fire department, running a church, working up the corporate ladder from entry level, etc etc. There are thousands of career paths that don't require degrees and there are phenomenal leaders within those domains. It's incredibly ignorant to deny those unique and valuable people from being eligible for arbitrary reasons.
