I would love if the president had to be able to run a mile and do pull-ups. Might keep these braindead racists off the throne.
A presidential fitness test for the president and congress would be pretty cool actually.
Or, more likely, it'd just be used to keep disabled people even further out of politics than they already are
Obviously we'd need special rules for the disabled
Yeah, wouldn't wanna pass up on another potential FDR!
Won't work. Brain-dead racists can be physically fit.
Or they'll just make exceptions because hypocrisy is a strategy not a weakness for them
But it would likely stop 60+ year olds from being president
But would it be worse than the current system?
It might: imagine if your country were controlled by a young and energetic brain-dead racist, not an old covfefe who might die any moment.
You’re talking about the vice president? But instead of trafficking teen girls, we’ll see endless articles on sofas
Probably, yeah. Do you think Bernie could do it?
Bernie runs.
he has never ran, he wont be able to if hes wearing those lifts.
