It seems like there should be some sort of a test to make sure the people making the decisions can still make an informed dicision.

I agree. The test is "Can You Read....the Constitution?"

You still have to know what is going on to be informed enough for a reality check before rendering a decision. I don't think they weigh the consequences. But, if you make decisions based upon the constitution and not on international law or whatever, you do not need to consider the consequences. They are not part of the equation.
