What kind of presidents do we need?

After the "bad news" (maybe its just what the world needs in this very moment) concerning the US Elections this morning, I am happy to read that the beautiful thinker Navid Kermani is a nominee for the "Federal President" in Germany. The elections will be held in February 2017.
On May, 23rd, 2014, he gave the keynote speach on the 65th anniversary of the German constitution in the Bundestag, which was a little sensation.
Kermani is a german born Muslim with roots in Iran and has both nationalities. For his literary and academic work the publicist and orientalist was awarded numerous prices, inluding the Buber-Rosenzweig Medal, the Hannah-Arendt-Price, the Kleist-Price, the Joseph-Breitbach-Preis and the Peace Prize of the German book trade in 2015.
​
Some commentators are sure, that a candidat like Kermani being "a brilliant talker and profound expert of religion and politics ... could be an interesting alternative" right now. So am I.
