We need an official presidential IQ score prior to elections
Why not??? Why not have either an 'approved test' or a composite score of the results on 3-5 accepted tests.

What is wrong with this concept? I've had 2 friends say it would be unfair...(why?). Along w/ the amt of $ that a candidate can raise for ads, why not include a measure of intellectual capacity?

I understand that you can actually 'study' for these tests, but some have multiple ?'s available.

If you were going in for surgery, wouldn't you want the best of the best working on you? Why shouldn't our NATION have the same.
