Both Trump and Obama met the initial criteria for representing their constituants and partaking in decision making at the federal level. The founding fathers actually invisioned the process of governing be done like "term limits" is referenced today. They felt that doing the peoples work could best be done by sending local representatives to Washington for 4 years, who would then return home and be replaced by a newly elected representative from the community. There was no such thing as a professional politician in the early years. That trend devolved representation of "we the people" and left us with the mess we have today. The collective "WE the people" are the least represented in Washington...180 degrees away from how the processes were originally designed and intended. I believe a part of the vote for Trump was from individuals who see the direction has abandoned the "people" who in summary WANT THEIR COUNTRY BACK from the hands of special interests and professiinal politicians.
