Exactly. Mental status exam as part of the hurdle to run for office and yearly for those serving after age 50 OK.
An age rule ignoring individual differences so the brain dead can feel they have addressed the problem. Hell no.
While we are addressing problems a civics test would be very worthwhile.

I think free speech, competitive media and honest elections would sort it out - let the voters decide who is qualified.

We don’t need another commission of “experts” to set aptitude standards and limit our options of who we can vote for. Any such commission would just be targeted for corruption by the Left.

If there were fair debates, no media censorship, and honest elections - there is no way Joe Biden would ever have gotten anywhere close to the White House.

The corruption, the senility, the arrogance, the elitism…. it would have been right there for all to see.

But they hid it - they used their media monopoly to deceive the people - then when even that wasn’t enough - they outright stole the election just to make sure.

I would add background checks, deep background checks and monthly or weekly drug testing. You fail and you are out!
