That’s why they claim they need a CEO that can offer “real adult leadership.” However, the job listing has some pretty specific requirements, including “experience hunting terrorist masterminds,” a minimum eight years experience as President of the United States of America or an equivalent nation,” who “must currently hold a national approval rating of 57% or higher.”
