    Because zillions of (relatively powerless) people get drivers licenses, rules have evolved and tightened up over the years.

    Because only a few (powerful) people get to be President, the rules have not changed much in 200 years -- and in the 1700s, when everybody in national politics knew everybody, and the system had just been invented, the rules were lax.
