That's as anti-democratic as disqualifying voters by same.

What would it prove anyway? Even an abstract concept like "intelligence" is not a predictor for being a good leader.

No

Whats the point of having a leader with a high IQ if he's also a lying socipathic chickenhawk? (ex:Cheney)

Someone thats mentally incompetent will not be in a position to be a leader, unless its a figurehead position, in which case it doesnt matter all that much if they can act (heck even senility can be seen as a plus for those wispering in the would-be leader's hear).

Very Happy

The US president really doesn't need to be smart if he or she has a staff of smart people.

in case you didn't realize, the president CHOOSES his staff
so you can't really count on his decisions
if he's stupid that is
