Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

About This Quote

If someone were to have the ability to do something, they should only do the job if they are capable of doing it. Nobody wants to be with people who can do more than they are capable of doing. This is not being fair to others. When one person can do a thing, many people want to do that thing.

When someone is capable of doing something, then that person does that thing. It’s just that simple.
