    I truly believe that anyone running for office should be able to pass a standardized history, economics, and sociology test. Nothing hard, just the basics.

      Should be able to but actual implementation of that gets hairy fast.

      It’s one of those things that doesn’t stand up to polarization. It works fine in a functional democracy, but it’s hard to call the US functional anymore.

        Yeah, the cons would be slipping things like biblical horseshit and Intelligent Design (lol) into the test.
