CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST ASKS PALIN TO WITHDRAW
Actually, the reason the Founders left the qualifications "vague" was not because "they hoped and expected ordinary Americans to have a chance at the top job." In fact, they believed just the opposite - that the vast majority of the population was incapable of doing the job. They did, however, trust the ability of the voting population to pick the right candidate without codifying explicit qualifications.
We have gone from a system where someone was well known because they were qualified to one where someone is presumed qualified because they are well known.
