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

 @9FVTKHQ from New York  answered…1yr1Y

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.
