Mandatory civics test for candidates

-

As President Trump rolled out his proposed overhaul of the immigratio­n system, including a civics test, a lightbulb illuminate­d above my head. What if a condition of running for the presidency of the United States included a mandatory civics test? Failure disqualifi­es a candidate from appearing on the ballot.

If Trump’s blatant disregard for congressio­nal oversight, separation of powers and the rule of law are any indicators, this “stable genius” will be adding his test results to his long list of failures and receive a stamped “one-way ticket” out of office. Nightmare solved. Cory David, South San Francisco
