Not much really. As a German, our president is mostly just representational, so just don’t be a scumbag and don’t be a Nazi or Nazi-adjacent would do fine.
As a German I would say test that they actually keep up with all their duties. I feel like for many years ours do a terrible job, but at least they don’t try to overthrow the government or anything. So… test that they know and are willing to perform their duties:
The president’s most prominent powers and duties include:
Proposing the chancellor to the Bundestag
Appointing and dismissing the chancellor and their cabinet ministers
Dissolving the Bundestag under certain circumstances
Declaring the legislative state of emergency under certain circumstances
Convening the Bundestag
Signing and promulgating laws or vetoing them under certain circumstances
Appointing and dismissing federal judges, federal civil servants, and commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
Exercising the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation
Awarding honors on behalf of the Federation
Representing Germany at home and abroad
Currently, German presidency is a deportation track for political pensioners.
