The President Test
I stand well corrected.
Donald Trump is far from honest. But honest or not, you could not say he wasn't purposeful.
Serving his own perhaps, but nonetheless - direct and purposeful. he and his now counterparts now running for President of the United States do truly deserve a country of their own. If you wince every time you watch a Republican debate and find yourself arguing with the television set, you know it's true. And if you're tired of reading the 'fact-check' after every debate you know the time has come for another important change.
We know that people who don't know the definition of 'Carpet bombing' but are bidding to be the Supreme Commander of one of the largest military forces on the planet have clearly not passed the Presidential SAT course.
Like Un-Christian America, The Presidential SAT, or President Test, is a new movement.
Anyone running for President would have to take and pass a test to be considered for the top office. You simply couldn't run if you didn't pass the test. You can't be a doctor , or lawyer, or licensed plumber if you don't pass a test. Why shuldn't we have one for being President of the United States.
Now, as I write I know a couple of big test -writing companies in Texas are starting to rub their hands together at the prospect of creating the test. Seems like a bad idea to farm it out right away to these Texas companies but I'm sure eventually they will seem the most reasonable and appropriate option, just as they are currently writing tests that are administered throughout many Common Core curriculums in the US.
Now , of course you would have to pay a nominal fee to take the test, and at first you would have to be 35 or older to take it and a US citizen. We could throw in a a great grab bag of political terms, some morality essays (let's start by defining 'politically correct' as the use of non-offensive language rther than turning th term into offensive language). Certainly a multiple choice about carpet bombing would be a definite requirement of the test.
Based on some of the debate performances the test would be a terrific preparation for some of the Republican candidates since many seem to believe the Presidency is actually a dictatorship. This seems odd since many of the candidates have served themselves in the Senate or state government. Of course, the biggest proponent of the dictatorship mentality have been the 'The Outsiders" of Fiorina, Trump and Carson. (Surprisingly no one has heard that IS the name of a new series on the Fox Channel about three candidates who try to change the world. It's kind of a political three stooges series where three people who have absolutely no experience in governing a country leverage their big business prowess and wealth to lead a middle class nation into the abyss).
The Presidency Test is already receiving attention from top-flight universities across the political spectrum who volunteer to teach it across disciplines of study. Anyone could enroll in the course. We could even offer it online for free. In time, the Presidency test could be a requirement for fulfilling certain jobs, like newscaster, so the people reporting on our political circumstances actually knew and understood the system they were talking about.
At the very least a Presidency Test could be regularly updated so candidates like Mr. Carson wouldn't have to hire separate advisors to help him 'bone-up' on history and politics before an election. It's a little scary to suggest that a doctor or nurse might be 'boning up' on heart surgery before they opened you and took out your guts. W e think of that as requiring a couple of filters of expertise before you can step up for the job. Let's make the Presidency - since she or he will be literally a phone call away from unleashing a nuclear attack that could destroy the world as we know it - let's just forget about building a wall between here and Mexico and build one between the Presidency and stupidity.
One of the chief Presidency Test developers said eloquently, "It's going to be a big wall, it's going to be beautiful, and we can assure you, Donald Trump will have nothing to do with building it - he and his fellow leading Republican candidates for President in 2016 have only inspired it ."
It seems Un-Christian America is catching on. The race for leader of the new country
is going to be thrilling.
Many have asked, in the face of the current worldwide refugee crisis, would we not be creating
a new crisis in states like California and New York: moderates currently trapped in states like Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Maine, would migrate earnestly to move from the new UCA. It's an understandable concern. The Canadian government is already preparing to handle how they will handle a similar refugees-from-America crisis should any of the front runners for the Republican Party actually make it into office. We can learn from them.
