I think a constitutional amendment to require a psychological examination for Presidential Candidate

...will pass without too much of a debate, but is it too much to ask for all elected officials to have the evaluations conducted too? How about law enforcement officers?

Probably be tough to do this until Dems win the presidency and majorities in congress, plus a constitutional amendment must be passed by 38 states...maybe there is another way, like a number of states require this for a candidate to get on the ballot...idk...

by buying control over the gatekeepers. Don't think they (Repukes/cons) won't.

I doubt it would get many votes at all.

If you think a candidate is crazy... don't vote for him/her... and tell your friends.

but after the trail of damage that Trump leaves behind, the republicans will certainly agree. I think they will finally be finished with the Trump, Palin and GW Bush types.

But there's still no way that any significant proportion of society is going to approve a governmental "Office of Psychological Examination" telling people who they can and can't vote for.

Pun intended... but that's just nuts.

Just like everything else they have bent and broken to give the bigly baby a pass on unlawful behavior.
