re: #280 Jack Burton

Can we start working on a constitutional amendment that will stop these fucking stunt candidates? I’m thinking more Trump than Kanye here but it will stop that shit too.

Like you need to completely serve an entire term as a state governor, in the house, the senate, or a state level office, or in a state legislature to qualify to be on the ballot.

Possibly require a bachelor’s degree or in lieu of that a full military career to retirement as well.

Require release of educational credentials and tax returns for the last 10 years.

Independent medical board of physicians and psychiatrists must also clear you.

Definitely not the “require a bachelor’s degree” part. Trump has a degree. I don’t. I suspect I would be a better president and I would probably be terrible at the job.

Moreover, that education test brings back Jim Crow tests.

The physical test? How do you determine physicians and psychiatrists are independent? What disqualifies you?

The test is an election. An obviously unqualified person should not be able to get into a high office if people understood how their government and republic works, which is why conservatives work so hard to undermine civics.
