The way this nation is spitting out winning candidates, means that sooner or later the losers will start winning, and unless we change some of the rules, we'll wind up losing the whole deal. I say, if the person running for office is a naturalized citizen (like Arnold S) and has at least 10 years previous political experience (having been in a major office like governor or mayor), then he/she should be able to run for the highest office in the land. Besides, the Pres may be able to write bills, and do many powerful things with their position, but they still need a winning vote in Congress. And I wouldn't worry about 'the button' because there are safeguard in place for that also. The Prez can't just push it, but needs a majority vote and at least 2 other high ranking MILITARY officers present with their keys in hand.
