The candidates should have to take a literacy test and a US Government test.

Okay, how about this as part of the literacy test: Can you legally be registered to vote in more than one precinct? Have you ever registered to vote in more than one precinct?

I suppose there could be other questions:

Q: Where was President Obama born?

A: Hawaii
B: Kenya
C: Somewhere else

Q: Is cutting taxes just before launching two elective invasions and occupations a wise move if you're concerned about adding to the deficit?

A: Are you high?
B: Yes
C: Hell, yes
D: America, fuck yeah!

Any other questions folks can suggest that would weed out undesirable voters?
