Jefferson was President for 8, Vice for 4, and governor of Virginia for 3. Even not counting his time as secretary of state, or time in the continental congress, that's 15. John Adams served 16 years. John Quincy Adams served over 25 years. James Madison served 16 years. James Monroe served 15 years. George Clinton served over 28 years. Samuel Adams was in one or another elected office for thirty years in Massachusetts.

Would you really have cut off the presidencies of Jefferson? Of Adams? Monroe? Because that's the top of the greased pole, and you only get there at the end of your career. Nobody goes from absolute zero to president, but you still need a president who's not a complete naif.

Or, maybe you don't, if you honestly think that heading the most powerful government in the world should only require someone of 100 IQ and less than 8 years political experience.

I wasn't counting State service.
