Instead, how about voters being required to pass a cognitive test before voting?
Love that!
Not as a blanket rule, no. It would become highly politicized, for sure. If there are questions about a candidate's cognitive state, the candidate can decide for themselves if they want to get tested and share the results. If not, they'll feel those doubts at the ballot box.
If you vote yes, who writes the test and who grades it — a doctor, congress, the candidate's own party? Pick an answer before you pick yes.
