A Republican senator is calling for annual senility tests for aging politicians, such as President Joe Biden, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, said during a recent appearance of “Axios on HBO” that he wants cognition tests for aging leaders in all three branches of government, Axios reported.

Cassidy, a gastroenterologist, said that people generally begin a “rapid decline” when they hit 80 years old.

“It’s usually noticeable,” the senator said. “So anybody in a position of responsibility who may potentially be on that slope, that is of concern. And I’m saying this as a doctor.”

“I’m told that there have been senators in the past who, at the end of their Senate terms were senile,” Cassidy added. “I’m told that was true of senators of both parties.”

Even idiots like Cassidy come up with good ideas once in a while...

Don't forget Feinstein. She reportedly is pretty far gone. It's said of Justice Thurgood Marshall that in his later years on SCOTUS, he just sat there and drooled. So let's test federal judges, too, while we're at it.

Seems appropriate that a fart doctor is calling out these idiot for having shit for brains.

I've suggested this before, I'll repeat.

Since it's impossible to get "term limits" through Congress (as a Constitutional Amendment), the alternative is "age limits" (to be eligible to run for election) and mandatory age retirement for judges.

This might actually pass, so long as it contained an exemption for all senators, Congressmen, federal judges/justices and president and vice president who were holding office at the date of enactment.

That would become the price for pushing it through...

After democrats viciously abused their powers to wrongly attack Trump, and yet some how gave slick willy, Obama, and Biden passes, you really think this check and balance won't be abused by Democrats? ? ?
Think about it!
