And why can't the voters determine whether a candidate is qualified enough?

I don't see the point of this amendment. It is not like we are actually going to vote for a newb anyways. And if we do, he probably deserves to win. This amendment is grossly undemocratic, and I will not support it.

I wouldn't be so sure. You might not, the old guard might not, the idiot "loons" might not (though don't hold me to that) but there are plenty of newbies already here and it wouldn't surprise me if they managed to get through.

Also, I'd like to say once again, this doesn't mean you have to join Atlasia and wait 6 months before you can be president, it just means your account has to be 6 months old. All of these waiting periods are with the age of your account, not your age after joining Atlasia.

Fine if you want to whine about it being "undemocratic" but that's just not true. We have age limits for running for Senate and President in the real world, this is no different. There are many other offices individuals can run for or attempt to be appointed to. As for voter registration, it just mandates people have to participate a little longer, rather than join one day, spam 25 posts, and join the same day.

This game continues to prove itself to be full of jokes.

I never said things were democratic in the real world, especially in the U.S.!  And thank you for calling me a joke, just because I oppose you on something. Classy.

Then let them get through. The majority rules.

Exactly. In a democracy, we should be able to elect whomever we want.  It's up to the people to decide whether or not a person is fit to run. If they make a mistake, then they have to live with it. They learn their lesson and they will elect someone different. That's the beauty of democracy!

So, I am a joke?

You're welcome for my vote. It won't be happening again. I don't like when people can't be civil with their disagreements. You're acting as if my opposition is a personal attack.
