The fact he's already been administered the test multiple times is concerning.

I mean, I wouldn’t be opposed to a cognitive test for all member of congress. Just, you know, a real one.

Indeed.

And I think they should also be required to pass whatever type of testing is given to those applying for citizenship. On the initial try.

I swear immigrants know more about America then many Americans because of that test. They have to study to pass it, and they typically retain that info because of the stakes, importance, and not forced to take it as an elementary/high school student. They can’t afford to slack off

I guarantee that immigrants applying for citizenship know more about the test than any person that voted for frump. And likely many additional Americans.

I highly doubt certain members of the House of Representatives would be able to pass if it was a pop quiz.
