Way back in college, I came upon reading the Constitution. In running for Presidency,Senator and other political position the qualifications stated at least 35 years of age, can read and write....it's just similar to applying for an ordinary job! Can it be revised? Can't it have more higher qualifications like someone whose got a good leadership skill, a master's degree and with all the intelligence? etc? Most politicians never even had or finished college, for pete's sake! something fit for a good politician. It's a waste if we keep having elections only to find out in the long run that we elected the wrong candidate then we go for another Edsa. Look what our county's experiencing now.

I've met A LOT of people with masters degrees that have enough trouble running their own lives. I'd hate to see them in the oval office.
College education doesn't prove a thing.

You start out saying "way back in collage"
how long ago was that in people years.
In the days when the Constitution was being written a large number of people were self taught. While there were some collages in this country there weren't that many at all.
The qualifications you request are judged in each person by each observing person by their own experience and subjective judgment

Define "good leadership skill" in a sufficient manner to write it into the Constitution.
Define intelligence in a sufficient manner to write it into the Constitution.
Heck, which masters degrees would be accredited for this purpose?

Where did you get the idea that most politicians never had or finished college? Not to say you don't have a point in there, but that statement almost renders your entire post questionable, because I simply don't believe that's true.
