The United States, where anyone can become president... without warning.

I might buy into that, but there's an old joke about a pious, devout woman preying to God to win the lottery as a reward for her piety and devotion, and becoming petulant when week after week, she doesn't win. Finally, the Lord appears and tells her, "You have to meet me halfway. Buy a lottery ticket."

The problem is, there are some politicians who can afford a lot of lottery tickets...
