But it is logical to assume that to be an official Arcmage, not just someone going around calling themself Archmage to feel special, would be voted for, and chosen by a council. Although it would be possible for one to be voted Archmage and have next to no magical talent whatsoever, magical power and ablilty would surely be key (amongst other things, like ideas, power and desire to rule) in becoming Archmage.

My quarrel is not with him proclaiming himself to be Archmage, but he has not been voted, else surely he would be more capable in the magical arts.

Also, your statement about declaring yourself president, and then becoming president because congressmen threw obama out, is flawed, in that you would still have no proof.
