Well. There was a tos cartoon so spock.
Spock would likely make a terrible president, purely because he’d be surrounded by illogical politicians who are constantly trying to backstab him. You need a president who is capable of not only being level-headed, but also capable of playing politics when it matters. The unfortunate truth is that politics often requires playing the long game, instead of simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away.
I'd be ok with that. I want it to be simply finding consensus and getting shit done right away. Also he would follow the law.
That would be a nice change
I can see the powers that be plotting an assassination. A rational, kind leader that doesn’t allow corporate greed? Can’t have that!
