20. Time to institute a "civil service" test to any federal elected official

I remember reading that dump didn't need to pass a background check --- because he was elected as president.

Just like every other real civil servant, there should be initial and periodic tests (every 2 years?) to:
- review mental capacity
- swear to the constitution
- check into financial situations (complete, not "less than $1M, more than $1M)
- require a new, thorough background check. This is important because withing 2 years of serving in the congress apparently an awful lot of critters get bought/blackmailed or otherwise lose sight of their elected purpose.

Some may argue that this is too arduous. Well, in round numbers there are 680 congress critters and several more such as presidents/VPs. Each year the federal government probably does 1,000,000 dives into applicants' and employees' security history.

Some may argue that the elected representatives have already been vetted by their constituents. This is so patently untrue on many fronts. But the major one is that the constituents (and the moneyed backers) aren't focused on federal security and background issues.

Sorry to put so much into a response to a reply to a post....
