        Lincoln never held public office. lots of presidents make it their first political job.

        edit: whoops. still, my point stands: there is no reason to expect anyone to have experience being president in order to elect them.

          Abraham Lincoln served as member of the Illinois House of Representatives from 1 December 1834 until 4 December 1842, representing Sangamon County. He went on to serve in to United States House of Representatives for Illinois’ seventh district from 4 March 1847 to 3 March 1849. His time in between was spent practicing law. I know you’re just trying to be disingenuous, but please stop.
