A brief lesson in Constitutional content.

Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution of the United States specifies the qualifications or requirements that make one eligible to hold the office of President. These are as follows:

No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

Notably absent from this compact list is a requirement that candidate have experience “riding in a fighter plane” or “getting shot down” (presumably while in said fighter plane).
