how many critters from Congress would fail it also!

test that immigrants seeking citizenship must take.

are morally opposed to education as a weakness

I agree, and it's a great name for the law too.

Since the Constitution seems pretty clear on the qualifications needed to run for President

in fact there are a few more requirements, such as filing fees and signatures.

It only releases medical information. The act says nothing about passing or failing, just a requirement for testing and release.

Running for president is a voluntary act. Just because there are tests you have to undergo isn't a barrier to running, or holding the office if you are successful.

The person running could be a pants-shitting, drooling idiot, but they could still run, and even be elected. Nearly half of eligible voters would still vote for them. The swing states would still swing in their direction. And, should they actually win, 37% of people polled would still approve of the job they are doing a year later.

I see nothing wrong with this law. I think it is a great idea.

is supposed to step in and protect the Office of President from madmen like Trump. They completely failed at their job in 2016, that's for sure!

It would be similar to efforts to require that candidates release their tax returns.

Boyle is probably being more tongue-in-cheek than not, considering what The Stable Genius Act stands for:
It's an acronym for "Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act."

And political leaders have responsibility for many more lives.

no one picked up on. He kept saying trump was PHYSICALLY ok. (innuendo: not vouching for the mental part)

The language is distinctive. It didn’t occur to Trump his mental fitness would be challenged or he would have thrown in stuff about what a stable genius he is.

I will have to look up clip

If the Feds can't pass it, some states could require it for the person to be included on the ballot. Too bad it is a little too late.

Some people are just freakin' clever. THIS, too, was a genius act, and stable, too! Even while this measure faces certain CON de-stabilization efforts.

ALL THE MORE REASON to flip the House. We need to go all out to take back the House of Reps. Both houses of Congress would be preferable, but let's AT LEAST take back the House. AND, even though it means more work and more struggle, as many statehouses as we can swing. We need more Democratic governors on duty, and on guard. The bad guys are only a few seats shy of being able to call as Constitutional Convention, and rewrite that founding document to further their own ends, at the expense of all the rest of us.

I certainly hope we can. There are lots of good suggestions on how to do that (many with complicated mathematical/topological convolutions) but anything is better than what the 'uglicans have rigged.

My fear is that once the power has shifted to the left of the aisle then the power holders will not feel as strongly about changing the misrepresentation.

AND secretaries of state (at the state level, of course). The census is coming up in 2020, and its results determine how congressional districts are reapportioned. We DESPERATELY need Democrats as governors, so the DEMS are in charge when that reapportionment happens. In as many states as possible, and as many state representative seats as possible.

If we controlled Congress again, our side could bring up and push bills to fix things like this at the federal level, but we'd have to have enough Democrats to be able to override a trump veto. Cuz he'd veto it for sure.

voided North Carolina's gerrymandering map.

as in stiff p**** who grabs 'em by the p**** or stiff those contractors

Obviously circulation is impaired, look at the mental functioning, and that reverberates to speech problems, and of course ED, and hence the claims of omnipotence and brillance

This is akin to Ferdinand Marcos infamous video appearing as a robust boxer to declare his health and fitness for office, even though he couldn't have punched out a stuffed Easter Bunny

There is a murder of crows and since horses live in a stable, maybe there should be a genius of horses' asses?

As in "The WH is occupied by a genius of horses' asses."

In honor of one Donald Trump, who suffered the tragic consequences of being totally unfit for office.

i know, i know, pie in the sky, unicorns and flying castles and sparkle ponies

who'd intrpduce such a bill. Boyle's a pretty centrist Dem, but maybe his NE Philly-based district is getting more liberal.

SOMETIMES they're capable of greatness. They don't always just fall back on the spineless cowardly lazy-ass "well, okay..." approach.

a list of medications they are taking.

all congress critters and the vp the prez be on social security only.

We need a full medical and psychiatric review for all candidates, even incumbents..
We need taxes for past 10 years released.
No person can run for any federal office without doing both of these in full.

That would keep the truly demented asshats out of office and lessen the danger to our country.
