Perhaps we could define categories of experience with ranked sub-categories to make it easier to sort.  Something like...

Executive Experience
Governor of a large state (4 points)
Governor of a medium state/Mayor of a large city (3 points)
Governor of a small state/Mayor of a medium city (2 points)
Mayor of a small town (1 point)

Legislative Experience
US Senator (4 points)
US Congressman (3 points)
State Representative (2 points)
County/City level (1 point)

Foreign Policy Experience
Secretary of State 4 (points)
Ambassador to an "important" country/Director of the CIA (3 points)
Ambassador to an "unimportant" country (2 points)
Lower level experience in State Department or intelligence community(1 point)

Military Experience
Secretary of Defense/General/Admiral during war time (4 points)
General/Admiral during peace time (3 points)
Commissioned or Non-Commissioned officer (2 points)
Enlisted man (1 point)

Economic Experience
Secretary of the Treasury (4 points)
Chairman of the Federal Reserve (3 points)
Misc Economic government post (OBM Director, etc) (2 points)
Doctorate in Economics from an accredited university (1 point)

Miscellaneous Government Experience
Vice President (4 points)
Cabinet member not previously mentioned (3 points)
Presidential Staffer (ex: Press Secretary) (2 points)
Generic "Other" low level category of jobs directly related to the government (1 point)

Private Sector Experience

Founder of a successful start-up (3 points)
CEO of a company that does not meet the previous two criterion (2 points)
Management position within a company (1 point)

I debated including a "founding fathers" category, but I think that would unfairly penalize all succeeding presidents.  Please give me your feedback; I'm sure this has plenty of kinks in it.
