Quote by Harry S. Truman
A President needs political understanding to run the government, but he may be elected without it.

Summary
This quote suggests that while it is important for a President to have political understanding to effectively govern a country, it is not a prerequisite for being elected to the position. In other words, political knowledge and competence may not always be the determining factors in choosing a President. This can lead to a situation where a President is elected based on other qualities or factors, such as charisma or public appeal, without necessarily possessing a deep understanding of politics and governance.
