A Presidential License

Since we require all of our technical professionals in health and science, legal, engineering and education to obtain a certain educational level, pass criteria of testing and obtain some level of training to become licensed to legally practice in their craft, should we not amend the constitution to require the same from the political leaders that make and regulate the laws for those crafts and occupations?
Shouldn’t we require more of our President than just being American born and 35 years of age?
