No, we don't all know that, F.U. I suspect most of us know better.
The President of the United States is not simply a figure head position that could be effectively filled by just anybody.
The President has a lot of power and pressure, holds the final say on a myriad of issues, and represents the United States at home and abroad. Knowledge, related experience, temperament, and statesmanship matter -- even more so, in my opinion, for someone who has a history of ignoring advice from advisers and has declared publicly that he has no intention of changing in that regard.
Aside from that, the President can invoke policies using Executive Action/Order without congressional vote and, more importantly, has the power to authorize military force without congressional approval as our nation's Commander In Chief.
