Yes - and most would fail, and be unable to blame it on a poppyseed bagel.

Why stop there? They way they’re screwing all of us, they should be tested for STD’s as well.

AND tax with financial status audits, polygraphs, risk analysis interrogations, physic exams and overall “fit for duty” evaluations. They should be under the microscope the entire time that they’re in office. But, any findings would be pointless unless fair and impartial enforcement was available.

Frankly, none of this would be necessary if competent leaders of honor and integrity were voted into office in the first place.

So...”term limits” would fix many problems with these self serving crooks.

I am more interested in those that are on public assistance taking drug and alcohol testing.

Yes.

And I also recommend a random flutter if they are serving on any "intelligence" or "security" committees.

Stop the leaks.

Actually, members of the all three branches should not be aloowed to exempt themselves from any law, executive order, agency regulation or ruling.
