After bush, we need to give candidates tests for mental capacity.

[Philosoraptor]

I only want the most highly qualified individual to hold the so called most important office in the land. And after having an incompetent ape like bush fuck the world up, candidates should be tested for general knowledge of government and history and world events, and never again should we allow some idiot who brags about never reading newspapers to run the nation.

Is this a ridiculous and unnecessary response to a ridiculous and unnecessary president?

5. The should at least pass a competency test and
