I don't understand. You can be a good leader even if you don't have kids.

It's called having aligned interests. If you have kids, you have an inherent bias towards having a long term stable and successful country. If you don't have kids, you might not give a shit what happens in the long term because you won't be around for it.

A childless person can still serve as a parental figure to or foster parent of others and leave behind an enduring legacy regardless. It's more accurate to say a selfish person makes a poor leader while a selfless one makes an awesome leader. Also it matters more what spiritual quality of kids you raise over the physical quantity of them.
