Unconstituional it is.

[NFHale]

Fine.

Then the GOP should introduce a Citizenship Exam for any member of COngress and the POTUS as well, and the remove and replace any trace of the kenyan commie from the law books and from history.

We can play that game too.

[TrueFact]

Oh come on and be fair...he said 57 states...

[M Kehoe]

I want all the House, Senate and their staffs to be drug tested every 6 months.

I sure hope Brendan Boyle’s office walls are lined with mattresses. What a whack job.

[tumblindice]

`rat flopsweat. The People make that call.

[Flick Lives]

Rep. Brendan Boyle’s office said in a press release that the Pennsylvania Democrat would introduce the “Stable Genius Act” in the House on Tuesday.

I’m proposing the National Asshat Prevention and Remediation Act where grandstanding nitwit Congress critters will be tarred, feathered (two coats just to be sure), and given 20 lashes with a wet noodle.

[beergarden]

He did say 57...but continued “and there are 2 more to go”

[polymuser]

Only if given to all Congress critters and federal judges. Along with an IQ test. All tested simultaneously, all results posted publicly, immediately.

[ronnie raygun]

All congressional a##hats first

[Enchante]

The problem is that the ‘rats will try to make sure they control the testing and reporting. We need only look at how bad the ABA evaluations can be for judicial appointments to see how the leftists tend to take over professional societies. They are relentless activists.

[The Great RJ]

Apply the test to every member of Congress and make them also take and pass a class on the Constitution and basic economics

[Pearls Before Swine]

Of course. This would bill would give Dems an unlimited De facto impeachment capability.

[5th MEB]

“STABLE GENIUS ACT”; the dems better hope that doesn’t pass.
They would never win another election again.
For any office, including dog catcher.

[silverleaf]

I support that
It might have disqualified Hillary AND obama
Howard Dean anyone?

[silverleaf]

Should be anyone in the line of succession
Then in the Congress
Lets take Pelosi for example
Biden anyone?

either you are a troll, which is more than likely on this forum, or you are ignorant of what liberalism is.
Here is a definition from the Encyclopedia Britannica:

Liberalism, political doctrine that takes protecting and enhancing the freedom of the individual to be the central problem of politics. Liberals typically believe that government is necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others, but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty. As the revolutionary American pamphleteer Thomas Paine expressed it in Common Sense (1776), government is at best “a necessary evil.” Laws, judges, and police are needed to secure the individual’s life and liberty, but their coercive power may also be turned against him.

As you can see, liberalism is about the protection of individual liberty; yours and mine.
But, one more time; you may not be about being right, and just want to incite controversy for the sake of it and are not interested in a civil and constructive discourse.

Kinda like the Soviets sending dissidents to mental hospitals.

[5th MEB]

Just think about it, 93 percent of all politicians (those that were brave enough to take it) only score in the 45th percentile on the full “American Civic Literacy Test”.
If a minimum 90% score on that test was requirement for public office, we could dump ALL of the liberal WELFARETARD pols, we know who they are.
I don’t consider myself particularly bright, but even I scored in the 97th percentile.

I move that all elected officials who serve in DC be mandated to exam of their morals and ethics before being sworn in. If they get below a 100%, they’re automatically disqualified to hold public office. Wouldn’t it be great?
