52. eventually, but...
i would like to see a scientist as president more specifically. a scientist cannot allow bias to get in the way of research in order to produce accurate results with expiriments. by that standard a scientist would make a great leader, and simultaneously encourage education and a quest for knowledge and self-betterment of the planet, rather than killing everyone that scares us because of race, religion, etc.

as an aethist myself i have always felt underrepresented because seemingly every politician has an "invisible man in the sky" that they pray to. doesn't seem to make sense that religion even has a role in deciding our leaders. you would think you would want the smartest and most capable people. not the holiest.
