Wyclef Jean as President of Haiti?

Wyclef Jean, music artist and past member of the Fugees is hoping to be in the running against 30-odd others, to become the new President of Haiti. According to election rules, the candidate must have been a resident of Haiti for the last 5 years, which will likely be challenging to prove as he has been stateside for many years. They will rule his eligibility as a member of the Haitian diaspora next week.

Wyclef's potential candidacy has been met with both support and resistance. Many are hesitant that Mr. Jeans celebrity status will pull him into the position and he will be unable to meet the demands of presidency. And worse, would he stop performing?

Please, take a look at the two linked videos and judge for yourself.
