Hiring a chimpanzee as your family physician makes just about as much sense as electing a Congressman or woman that does not know or understand the Constitution and the principles upon which our government was founded.
Doctors, Dentists, Stock Brokers and Lawyers all need to be certified as do Real Estate Agents, Teachers and Accountants, even dogs need a license.
To insure that professional service providers are adequately educated on their chosen profession they must endure many hours, and in some cases years of their lives to become certified.
Candjdates for public office are not currently required to be certified, but should be. A public servant is required to take an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, but they are not required to demonstrate their competency.
Every candidate for a public office should be required to demonstrate that they know and understand the Constitution and the principles upon which it was written.
Only candidatea who can prove their worthiness to serve by becoming certified should be eligible to run for office.
All candidates currently need to run for office is a lust for power and a lot of money.
If all of the candidates honored their oath it really would;t matter who we elected.
