I posted that same call on Facebook a couple of months ago and readers laughed. I don't see why that's a humorous request.

Even a basic civics test would disqualify several existing office holders.

First they need to know what AP is.

The Republican caucus meeting would never make quorum.

How 'bout the USCIS citizenship test? Although for an office candidate, I'd prefer 18/25 rather than the 6/10 requirement.

And a drug test or tests.

I agree. I think everyone running or in office should be required to pass AP American History.

I agree and many elected officials are responsible for budgets, so at least some basic math is warranted too.

I'd be happy if they passed the citizenship test.

You need to throw in AP Government as well

Add a civics course too

Florida legislature is right now defunding those classes, not eliminating them of course, they're pro education, just stripping all funds that give the schools the ability to support the courses.
