Write a 2-page essay, by hand, covering why the US Constitution lays out the government it does. Do this alone with a proctor watching. The paper will be anonymously graded by a panel of high school teachers. If you get less than an A, you can’t run.

Also take AP Government and History tests. Also need an A on those.

Finally, live 6 months on your country’s median income in your country’s capital city. No outside help. Apply for, and take on a job where you aren’t “running” something, but rather “doing” something.
