Presidential qualifications

From Kompas

There is one president among the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) heads of state who does not hold a degree. He is Philippine president Joseph Estrada.

Our country also once had a president with no academic qualifications and he was in power for 32 years. He is Soeharto. His formal education consisted of elementary school, but not the military academy as was the case of General Abdul Haris Nasution.

What about Megawati Soekarnoputri? She was a student at Padjadjaran University in Bandung. However, important qualifications for a presidential candidate are honesty and high integrity. The candidate must have reliable advisers and assistants.

In practice, the implementation of government policies is done by the assistants (ministers), is it not?
