first of all i make a distinction between 'qualified' and 'fit' for office...qualifications depend more on experience and policy while fitness for the office is a character thing...
since you are responding to posts in which i refer to a candidate's fitness for office...i am going to assume that you actually want to know what traits a person needs to be fit for office...
if i had to list the minimum traits that a person needs to possess in order to be fit for the office...these four come to mind...
sanity...no mental instability or personality disorders that could produce serious lapses in judgment...
integrity...even if they are on the wrong side of an issue they should at least be sincerely wrong...
respect for the constitution...that document should limit and govern their behavior in office and if they aren't committed to letting it do that they then have no business in office...
finally they should not be evidently guilty of any serious crime...by 'serious' i mean a speeding ticket does not make someone unfit for office...
applying these to past and current candidates...romney passed on all four...obama clearly failed on two in his first presidential campaign and by his reelection it was evident that he had failed on all four...hillary clearly fails on at least two as of now...and trump fails on all four...
