Not until he wins the election (and he is going to win, I've seen 20 years of Berlusconi, I am not wrong on this).
Then his passport will list "Politician" as his occupation.
Not that it's the most shameful of professions as you seem to imply, unless you find anarchy and running around naked in the woods appealing.

The founding fathers were just a bunch of learned, very wise men... from the eighteenth century.
And the US constitution is a product of its time: because all constitutions are.
You don't just get up in the morning and draft a constitutional bill, you do so in the wake of something.
That's why the Italian constitution is most evidently drafted by someone who was scared ******** of fascism ever making a comeback, or why the Japanese constitution says "yo emperor, yours is a mostly symbolic role and please don't drag us into another hopeless war, in fact we renounce war".
The uniqueness of the US lies probably in the fact that Americans are very defensive of their heritage and history, however short, and have a tendency to take their 200-year old constitution very literally, just as folks from the Bible belt are fond of reading the book quite literally (the prevailing Catholic interpretation is that "nah, the Earth is not 4000 years old, you have to read between the lines").
That wouldn't probably fly elsewhere, take the gun control issue.
In Europe they would have probably said "okay, so the English are not about to invade us anytime soon, we can safely limit the sale of automatic weapons", not "it's a constitutional right!1111111111 sacrilege!11111"
On the other hand, most European countries, including my own, revise their constitution with way too much ease, so perhaps props need to be given to the US.
