 What does the framers of the Constitution say about the qualifications for the President of the U.S.?

The framers of the U.S. Constitution laid out the qualifications for the presidency in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5. They were quite deliberate in setting a high bar, but not an aristocratic one. Here’s what they required:

🏛️ Constitutional Qualifications

To be eligible for the office of President, a person must:

• Be a natural-born citizen of the United States (or a citizen at the time the Constitution was adopted)

• Be at least 35 years old

• Have been a resident of the United States for at least 14 years

These were the only formal qualifications the framers included—no requirement for wealth, religion, or even education. That was a radical departure from European norms at the time.

Let's fast forward to the here and now of the Modern Era for the Leadership as POTUS {President Of The United States}

We have been fortunate enough to have some experienced, well-heeled leaders among the highest for the position of POTUS  in America, to name a few:

John F. Kennedy, is known for the advent and difficulties of the rift with Castro of Cuba, namely The Bay of Pigs. We still mourn the memory of his fatal demise in his assassination 

Bill Clinton served two terms and holds the distinction of being the first to lead and leave the office with a Balanced Budget, even though he went through some other types of difficulty and  challenges during his two terms as U.S. leader, Front & Center as the POTUS

Barack Obama, The First Person Of Color and of African descent to hold the leadership position as POTUS, as he, too, like Clinton, served two terms. I would be remiss if I omitted mentioning that he faced a major dilemma and difficulty from the GOP side of the aisle. The challenges he faced looked and felt like the Manacle Chains of Racial Discrimination Practices of the throwback of Jim Crow Laws of the segregated Southern States during the 1960s. Nevertheless, his eight years of leadership exuded Class, Style, Competence--No Drama, just real results in the throes of disrespect and hatred. In spite of the dilemma they faced, he and Michele led with heartfelt intelligence. We were so proud of the eight straight years of Growth and Development without a trace of Scandals. Hint, Hint, Hint... 

Next up was Joe Biden, who served admirably as the U.S. VP alongside POTUS Obama. Biden only served one term as POTUS,  and he left the office and the economy in rather  Good Shape and Position. Only to have the Office of the presidency of the U.S. and the Economy put it in utter shambles in less than 100 days by the  Trumpster and his under-qualified, inept, ill-prepared Administration. #NUFFSED#

 FYI, Hey All, Happy Sunday, I just want to share a New Word of The Day with you: The word is "Entelechy" { N Tele key}

Its meaning is: The supposed vital principle that guides the development and functioning of an organism or other systems, persons, or organizations.

A well-known example is closely related to the metamorphosis of the worm that develops into a beautiful butterfly.

Sentence: The Entelechy of the American Idol winner Jamal Roberts came about because of his years of practice and dedication to music and his spiritual church upbringing, and singing that allowed him to finally achieve his dream of being on the world stage of music. Congrats as he spreads his wings and soars to even new heights of development.

 Beyond the 70th Chapter of Life's Journey:

The narrative proclamations and the vicissitudes of the Learning Curve of Life denote the following:

~The apex of learning is a rare leadership skill

~Which embraces the common habits of Trust, Joy, Compassion, and the enhancements of the people I've been privy to lead

`Within the capacities of such professions as collegiate edu, military service, C-suite corporate management echelon, politics, non-profit entities, community service, where the thread was through personal, professional, and pastoral spiritual development

Whereas, to know and become aware that reinvention was not just a phase but a lifelong habit.

Whereas, to know and learn that it's never too hard to be curious, inquisitive, or to be kind, authentic, and genuine.

Nevertheless, such actions serve to discover and embrace the legacy of civility and humankind. Which is tantamount not just for what you build, but also is more about what one endeavors to motivate and lift up.

Now, being at the apex of B-yond the 70th chapter:

I'm not moving out-just moving over. Not winding down, but rewiring with the ultimate energy of life. Although I am still learning, still laughing, and still leading to help others become all they were created to be and meant to be by Almighty God, Amen.

 Choosing The Right Path Of Life

A wise man once said:

It may prove sufficient to choose...

Love vs Hate

Friends over Enemies

Truth vs Lying

Joy vs Cry

Positivity over Negativity

It is Prudent to seize the moment and recognize that 'life' has two sides; it is incumbent upon us to choose the better side. It is God's Will that we should be forgiven as we forgive others. In order to be the recipient of His Protections, His Provisions, and His Faithfulness in our lives. Amen...
