Newt Gingrich: I would ignore supreme court as president

[green917]

57. I'm starting a campaign as of right now

I am going to petition my Congress members to propose a Constitutional Amendment stating something to the effect of the following:

No candidate shall be considered for higher Federal office (whether it be as a member of the Legislative, Executive, or Judicial Branch) until such time as said candidate can pass the United States Citizenship Test (or some reasonably equivalent test of knowledge of American history, Civics, and Government) with no less than 80% correct.

Essentially, I'm really tired of these moronic candidates/members of our Government that have no idea how our system of Governance works and couldn't pass a basic American History or Civics exam if pressed to take one. Call me crazy but if you are applying to be the guy in charge of executing the laws of the land, you should have at least a cursory understanding of how the Governing doctrines and documents (the Constitution) apply and you should know that it's not within your purview to "ignore" a co-equal branch of the Government. Statements like this one should immediately disqualify one from being considered for the office in question.
