No, because our government needs experienced leaders and mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused.

@9BHS34X2yrs2Y
@99JTH562yrs2Y
Yes, politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test, but there should also be a ban on much older politicians

Yes and implement term limits
@9FJDB4K1yr1Y
Yes, Let's go Brandon, I agree.
@9FVTKHQ1yr1Y
Mental competency tests are too subjective and could be abused, if they were reliable I would say yes. However, I do think there should be age limits on certain offices. Generally, I think candidates older than 70 are out of touch with the desires of the general public/voters and are loosing mental competence.

No, but ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office
