Matt Wuerker for September 20, 2016

Gone are the days of the draft, when a guy could fail all those exams and still get drafted. And the smarter Republicans realize they’re stuck with a 4-F.

CinC is not supposed to be the main job of the President.The exam to enter the military is not as extensive or through as implied.What you say about the President also applies to Senators, Congressperson, Supreme Court Justice, “journalist”, …

The President would never go through this common man treatment. Drug tests and inspections are for janitors and forktruck drivers, not CEOs and Managers. Maybe if we stopped treating the rich like they were elite and the poor like they were criminals, the privates wouldn’t have to go through so much (no pun intended) and the presidents would go through more vetting.

Need to ensure all the privates (and other E-1 ranks) are healthy enough to die for unnecessary wars/incursions.

you logic is confounding.One the one hand, we have a recruit to run around, fight, and be cannon fodder.On the other, someone that will need to make policy decisions of all variety while both listening to and acting on the will of the people and being a leader while balance a tremendous variety of legitate (and illigitimate) competing interest, all at the same time, while living under a microscope.both otherwise , basically the same thing.

The whole health thing is a scam. Many of our past presidents were not healthy and did just fine. Even if pronounced healthy, it is possible to have a stroke or heat attack or get shot. I do worry a bit that the candidates are pushing seventy which means at the end of two terms they will be pushing 80. The president’s job is tough and physically demanding. We really need to have a retirement age for politicians. (And in my mind it would be early retirement around 55 or 60).

Why does Trump hide everything?What is the psycho up to?

We really need to have a sensible required set of skills learned through hands-on experience and vetted by an uncompromising, apolitical agency.

Like all things, it is a matter of degree. JFK and FDR were partially crippled, but made good presidents – until FDR’s last term, where his judgment dealing with Stalin may have been impaired in Yalta. Ronald Reagan may well have been suffering Alzheimer’s in his second term, which would explain some things, and, again, led to some bad decisions (e.g., defending criminals in his administration). There’s reason to believe that Woodrow Wilson’s wife really was the President during the last year or so of his administration, and whether she was competent or not, she was not the one elected!Mental health is key to effectiveness.

Then we are in big trouble.chUmp is Psychotic, a psychopath. Along with megalomaniac.Clintons morals and judgement is poor and she appears to be very sick. If I lived in a swing state I would vote for Hillery with a clothespin on my nose, To prevent the one who would nuke the mid-east and bring back torture.Since I live in a very red state, I will write in Bernie Sanders, the Real Winner of the Dem. Primary.It’s a fact that the DNC rigged the vote.

James Madison was probably a foot too short to be elected in these modern times. (Not that he was a great president, because he definitely was NOT, but he was a great patriot.) Taft was one of the few people in the world who weighed as much as Chris Cristie or Rush Limbaugh—think he could be elected these days? Yet Donald Trump, who appears to have mad cow disease, will be on the ballot in November unless he drops out (which I’m still rooting for……..)

When an office holder proposes that those that get government payments, including food stamps, needs to be drug tested, then they need to take drug tests and use a breathalyzer daily when in session.

Remind me: where i the Constitution is it required for a POTUS to submit to health screenings as a requisite for holding the office?Last time I checked, there are three criteria:1: Natural-born citizen2: 14 years in residence inside the USA3: Minimum age of 35.That’s it.

All I know is if it was a requirement for a Presidential Candidate to release their tax returns we wouldn’t see Trump as the GOP nominee
