There should also be a limit on how stupid they're allowed to be.

At this rate we'd have no politicians!

Smart people put political proxies in power so they can get on with living their life.

There are only two reasons to become a politician and STAY a politician, and Graham is no Sanders.

Better screen for sociopaths too.
