No single human being should ever be allowed as much power as the president is given, no matter how competent, worthy, or wise they may be. Power can take down the most robust of characters. It’s a fire that burns unless it is somehow dispersed and expiated. The irony is that nobody who wants to be president should be president, because they are the ones most likely to become corrupt, if they’re not corrupt already. Lured by power, lured by the need to rule, lured by the need to control, those seeking power are the least fit to wield it. So it most definitely goes.

Sure, there might be exceptions out there somewhere. But it is highly unlikely. There may be a “Harry Potter” out there in the real world, who is willing to break the “Elder Wand” so its power doesn’t have a chance to corrupt. But it is very doubtful. There may be a “Maximus” out there somewhere, willing to “defeat Rome” and “once all of Rome is his,” simply walk away. But it is highly doubtful. Barring any real-life mythological heroism, power over others is simply too much responsibility for one person, or even a group of people, to handle. With that taken into consideration, here are seven reasons why we do not need a president.

1.) Power Tends to Corrupt
