I would worry about a president's morality than intelligence at least to me.
Of course nobody's perfect but my saying is that we don't need Stephen Hawking at the state presidential level.

Both heart AND HEAD, please. Moralists alone imo have committed more crime and barbarism throughout history, than labelled villains or bright minds. To me, "moralist" almost is an invective. Like I differ between honour (good) and pride (bad), I differ between ethics and morals. And moralists being proud of their morals, without doubt are amongst the most despicable types of humans there are, like people feeling ethically responsible beyond themselves and understanding that as part of their sense of honour, appear to be amongst the most noble ones.
