Test the candidate’s health, and other things

For months, the Donald Trump campaign has been not so subtly hinting that Hillary Clinton may be physically unfit to be President. They have hinted at a possible mental illness, or that she has been hiding some sort of serious illness following her fall which led to the discovery of a blood clot. As Hillary coughed her way across the campaign trail, she dismissed any notion that she is not physically fit. But now, the fringe theory that Clinton is ill moves to the center of the campaign after she fell ill at a public event and had to be helped to her van. Now we do have to wonder about her health. She can no longer laugh off the allegations. That’s why all presidential candidates in the U.S. should be forced to release their medical records. We deserve to know how healthy are those who want to lead our country. And while we’re at it, we may want to give the candidates for the nation’s highest office an IQ test. We should give them every test we can think of to test their readiness. The ACT test, a spelling test, an eye test, a driving test, the Wunderlich test, even the Rorschach ink blot test. The results of all should be made public. With so much on the line, we shouldn’t have to just take a candidate’s word for it when they tell us they are fit to serve.
