Which will come first? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

For a country as diverse as it is, the USA has had a remarkably un-diverse leadership. We are on our 43rd President. What other nation do you know of to have such homogenous leadership in their past 43 leaders?

Also, what sequence do you suppose the rest will come in, any idea when also?

To give you a rough idea where each of the following stand:

Female: Has been part on vice presidential ticket, not elected.

Non-Christian: Has been part on vice presidential ticket, not elected.

Non-White: Candidates in primaries but none on major party ballot.

Under 40: Youngest President so far was elected at the age of 43.

Third Party: Have won a few states before, though often are regional candidates.

Artificial Intelligence: Current levels of AI technology insufficient.

Really, probably a woman. Though I would like to see a minority pres too... Why not a 36 y.o. black budist woman running on the green party....

Oh, I consider AI and a woman the same thing

My prediction:

Woman
Non-White
Non-Christian
Artificial Intelligence
Under 40
Third Party

The chance of an under-40 president being elected decreases every year as the population ages. Third parties have always had the same level of discrimination against them, and have never put anyone in office over 200+ years so I doubt they ever will.

Do you honestly think that this country will pass a constitutional ammendment to allow a non-human, non-living entity to have citizenship and hold the presidency before someone under 40 or a third party candidate will win?

Sorry, but that's simply beyond belief.

I can see you point about electing a Jew but I don't see an atheist having a chance for quite awhile. Remember they have to be able to win in the South.

They just have to be quiet about their religion or lack thereof.

Besides, it's possible to win without winning the south. Lincoln did it

I wonder what wpould become of the "so help me God" if a Athiest is elected, can he/she refuse to say that part? I think a Woman, black, or hispanic president is way overdo. I actually think a woman would be better president because women can multi-task beter than men.

1) That hasn't been proven conclusive, although there is some compelling circumstantial evidence
2) That doesn't make him "non-white" in a racial sense any more than a black person having white blood makes him "non-black." Harding was predominately White, whether he had some (and a small amount, mind you) black blood in him or not. Culturally, he was very much a white man of his times. He identified himself as a white man. He lived amongst white men in a time when desegregated environments were rare. His friends, family and colleagues considered him a white man. The voting population considered him a white man.

That makes him having a smidge of non-white blood in his veins irrelevant, unless you live by the racist notion that one must be 100% pure white to be considered a white person.

actually i don't think this is true. his home-town of Marion, Ohio apparently was racially mixed and the neighbours of the Harding family did consider the Harding family to be 'negro' or mulatto. then there was the fact that Harding went to Iberia College (now Ohio Central) which was founded to educate all people regardless of ethnicity and hence, had plenty of mulatto and former slave students

Women compose 50% of America.
Minorites compose about 25%. Even with this increasing, women will continue to compose 50% and that's going to stay that way for sure. Thus, it's simple statistics that a woman will be elected first.

However, I consider it:
Female
Non-White
Under 40
Non-Christian
Third Party
A. I. (requires constitutional amendment)
