How in the f*ck can 1 guy destroy the "strongest nation" so fast?

91. Another flaw is...

…people who couldn’t get a job at a McDonald’s can be elected to public office. Criminals can hold public office.

FBI checks are required for most people seeking employment in any job, public or private. You can’t get a bank account without credit checks. Loans, insurance, rentals, etc, all require some kind of background check. There are no such checks for those seeking public office. That is a huge problem, imho.
