That would be forward thinking….something that most politicians seem to frown upon.

I enjoyed Franken’s books and I think he did a good job as senator- so my answer is yes.

No. I like the politicians we have. It’s so easy to tell when they’re lying. An authour, I’d have to wonder.

Author is just the title of a job… like a teacher or student. It has nothing to do with whether a person should be in politics or not.

These days I think you should have to have a law degree to go into politics. Too many people who have no idea are ruling countries.

It would make sense at least they would know the law and have at least read and studied the Constitution. It uses to be that way a long time ago
