What if "Ike" had been captured? President?

When an ex-cheerleader draft dodger is waging a Global War, it only makes sense that his wannabe successor would be a "hero" that never won a battle or a war but whose defining military moment was being captured by the enemy.

Dwight David Eisenhower (October 14, 1890 – March 28, 1969), nicknamed "Ike", was a General of the Army (five star general) in the United States Army and U.S. politician, who served as the thirty-fourth President of the United States (1953–1961).

During the Second World War, he served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe, with responsibility for planning and supervising the successful invasion of France and Germany in 1944–45. In 1951, he became the first supreme commander of NATO

Pretty darned impressive eh?
The only thing missing from his resume is the fact that he was never captured.
How the Hell did this guy ever get elected?

There were a lot of folks at the time that were wary of having a General as President. In fact, because of a legal issue related to holding a military rank while in a civilian office, Eisenhower resigned his permanent commission as General of the Army before entering office. After completing his term, his commission on the retired list was reactivated and Eisenhower again was commissioned a five-star general in the United States Army (wiki).

Ike's Military History

After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Eisenhower was assigned to the General Staff in Washington, where he served until June 1942 with responsibility for creating the major war plans to defeat Japan and Germany.
In 1942, Eisenhower was appointed Commanding General, European Theater of Operations (ETOUSA) and was based in London.
In December 1943, it was announced that Eisenhower would be Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. In January 1944, he resumed command of ETOUSA and the following month was officially designated as the Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), serving in a dual role until the end of hostilities in Europe in May 1945. In these positions he was charged with planning and carrying out the Allied assault on the coast of Normandy in June 1944 under the code name Operation Overlord, the liberation of western Europe and the invasion of Germany.

So, let's play pretend. If Ike had been captured early in the war (The Big One), would he still have been qualified enough to be nominated and elected?

Times Up!
The answer is No.

(note: No disrespect is intended to Senator McCain for his service . His experience while honorable, has no relevancy to the office he seeks.)
