Haley Wants Cognitive Tests for U.S. Leaders

How'd I do???

And should be the next president of the United States.

She being a math geek and all!

Bring two bottles of Jameson...and whatever you want to drink!!!

My brothers and male cousins will be there for sure.

(The Irish ladies in my family prefer ale.)

You can have the White House bubbly.

tfg is out of the way.

Asshole.

I mean, arrogant blind stupidity is bad enough, but add in some strange narcissitic disorder and also senility-- she never called for testing him then.

Then again, Biden would easily pass such a test, and Trump probably couldn't have passed it a decade ago. So go for it, Nikki! Be careful what you wish for.

too many of the tea party strained GQP folks making the most noise are dumber than a box of used hair and have no idea what "representative democracy" is, let alone Federalism.

She needs one to, to follow this arrogant, racist, piece of crap….enough said. That should disqualify her from anything…..she just landed a lifetime appointment to the Clemson U board of trustees….👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

You have Repubs vs Dems compete to have the correct answer in factual questions, like "Is CRT being taught in grade schools?" or "Who is the current president?" I figure they could do it like the old College Bowl.

Through my city's High School Bowl. Changed my life...seriously.

But yes, I'd like to see the two parties square off on TV.

the constitution clearly spells out the qualifications for the president and Congress. For any further qualifications you'll just have to rely on us lowly voters as to who gets to serve. Any candidate has the choice to voluntarily take any test they want and make it public. You first, Ma'am

My first thought was "Please Proceed.........."

One of those is a minimum age. I think it is long past the time (Reagan) for there to be a maximum age (like for airline pilots) And yeah, it'll take a constitutional amendment. I'm thinking 65, and for senate and house as well, but yeah, I'll be willing to discuss it. Let's talk about the distance between the "average" voter and those in charge. Let's talk about the grasp of new markets and technologies of the elderly "leadership" (the internet is a bunch of tubes) and what is "really" going on. Let's talk about that you aren't even eligible to be President until 35, but voters younger than that have to vote for ONLY people older than that, and MUCH older. How about the "elderly" (as one of them) have to start voting for people younger than they, just as those younger than 35 have to vote for older folks.

What I'm saying is that it is a worthy conversation to be had.

what I was thinking.

They can make any ballot rules they want.

I guess that is an easy way to force the issue............

I'd prefer EVERY candidate take a personality test (the same test for all) and those scoring above "x" for sociopathy and/or psychopathology will be disqualified from any race for public service, even dog catcher.

We do, however, still have the constitution and I believe that spells out the qualifications for being president, vice president, etc. Until an amendment for change is passed and approved by 2/3 of the states, I believe it's all just "talk" to rile up the republican base. First, by declaring Biden senile, and 2nd by saying "we're" declaring TFG "senile"....

Ronald Raygun showed "senile" can be gotten around with the correct cabinet members... even tho I'll never agree with what they did. Sociopathy and psychopathology are MUCH more dangerous for us as a society, as we're seeing right now. Much more, and we'll not have a democratic republic to call home any longer. We absolutely do not want a Hawley or De Santis or Lee or any number of other Republican Trumpistas to sit in the catbird seat and try to out-trump Trump. Russia might as well drop a nuke on us now; it would be that devastating.

McConnell, and we all Know Bang Bang Barbie, Marginal Trailer Queen , Gohmert and Cawthorn can’t pass an IQ test. I do however hate that Corpses with a couple years left are making policies for 50+ years in the future.

They look like a bunch of walking corpses.

I'm not sure we want to go down this road.

Some are going to cram for the test, but that's OK. If they're capable of cramming and learning the answers overnight (just like we all did in college) then more power to them. It's the ones who DON'T know the answers and CAN'T learn them, that must be excluded from running for high office.

I'm all in favor of this. No cheating allowed.

That should be our FUCK DJT?



The ageist asshole Nikki says what?

I hate the whole power narrative, government is suppose to be boring AF and as invisible to our lives as possible!

The test that every green card US resident has to take to become a citizen.

I swear, the average immigrant knows more about our system of government that the average citizen born in the US.

Here’s what I want.

1. Must have been re-elected at least once to either a governorship, US House of Representatives or US Senate, or have been elected to two different offices one of which must be one of the three named in the last sentence.

2. Must pass the US naturalization test.

3. Must pass the Single Scope Background Investigation needed to receive a Top Secret security clearance.

4. Must divulge tax returns, credit report, investment activity and business records for the last 10 years.

5. Must pass the US military enlistment physical.

6. Must pass the Armed Services Vocational Battery (ASVAB) test.

7. Must agree to turn over full control of any businesses and investments to a management team hired by the US government. The team will operate the businesses and manage the investments in a fashion designed to return them to their owner in pretty much the same condition they were in when the owner assumed office.

8. Must submit a photo of his or her current cat. No cat, no office.

Okay. I also want implemented an exam based on general knowledge of history, civics, etc... Something like this:

Consensus of the forum hosts is that this is opinion, which is barred by the LBN SOP:
