#1 Among the pile of Constitutional amendments (like sticking congresscritters having to comply with the laws they make upon the citizenry) should be a ban of anyone having served in the Senate from the office of President. Other than the corrupt aspects of posturing and envy that it currently invokes, there is an issue of 'conflict of interest' for a body which casts the last vote of impeachment to remove a President from having the ability to promote from within.

#2 There is something to this. Might be why historically Senators have a very hard time getting elected president. It certainly supports the notion that it is foolish to nominate a Senator as your candidate.

As fond as I am of Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, I would not support either as the nominee for this very reason.

Also would want any nominee to be in his or her second term at the very least. New-wunderkind syndrome would get you Chris Christie as the nominee.
