All that sounds nice until you actually consider how to implement it.
Professional psychologists create and interpret IQ tests. Lawyers would have to handle the literacy tests. Medical experts would need to interpret the MRI results.
I feel like those professions have largely been on the GAW’s collective shit list lately. You okay with these academics to be the ones ultimately designing and maintaining the mechanisms of power in this country?
I’ve always thought every politician should at a minimum, go through the same background check and psych test that cops and firemen go through. We don’t even know these clowns.
Don’t mandate it, but figure out a way to use social pressure to make it popular. Don’t want to take the test? What are you hiding? Oh well, you don’t have to, and we don’t have to vote for you.
Term limits and a prohibition on private employment for seven years after service. Add to this quarterly audits of self and immediate family, annual audits of extended family, and a moratorium on insider trading.
Agree, except insider trading is illegal, period. Plenty of laws against it, but enforced selectively. So... no moratorium, and enforce all laws equally, not just the insider trading laws.
Exactly. I mean, we could do that. But then who's administering the tests?
It's kinda sorta the entire point of the amendments if you think about it. Not to make a perfect system free from bad guys, but to ensure no bad guy gets to have controI over a system that can be used against the goodguys. This isn't 1984.
Fully agree and once the smoke clears and we have publicly trialed and executed those who are guilty of crimes against humanity, this should be part of the bi laws of the people who work for us in Washington DC.

Drug testing would wipe out half of Congress.
Most of them are drunks too. Make them blow zeroes before entering the building, before taking part in committee meetings and before every vote.
Mandating that no one who was involved in the Congressional Sex Abuse Settlement Fund can run for re-election would terminate the DNC and eGOP/RINOs.
That such a fund exists at all is shameful.
And mandate that they get exactly what the American people get, no exceptions. They have to live by the same rules they put on us.

Actually it sounds like it could be a Digital Passport Credit Score... for politicians.
This won't work because the tiny hats would figure out a way to make the test work the opposite that it is supposed to.
>120 IQ? nope, it reads less than 120 IQ.
Low on psychopathy. Nope, you for some reason are a psychopath.
Etc.

You do that and there will be nobody left
