Honest to god, some of the politicians don’t even have BASIC KNOWLEDGE of the role they are going to step into.
- How many people work in the Federal Government?
- How much was the debt/deficit last year?
- Name the last 10 Presidents by name and what party they represented
- Name all red states, blue states, and swing states
- Name the capital of each state
- Describe all 27 amendments
- Describe how to submit and approve a new amendment
- Describe broadly what POTUS can and cannot do
- What happens when POTUS is unwell - what is the chain of command
- What is the One China policy
- Name all allies in WW2
I bet you money many past POTUS’s would fail this.
The whole thing should be streamed live for 2 hours and each candidate should be given questions at random from a 1000 question bank.
