Maybe the laws - or even the Constitution - should be amended to force
every Presidential and VP candidate to pass a thorough medical (and
mental) exam before they can be put on a Presidential/VP ballot and also
pass an annual physical.

The voters too? When these things are known, they may ignore the
problem.

Tests for voters have always been controversial and difficult. We can't
seem to agree on much in the way of minimum qualifications beyond age
and citizenship and even those are contested from some quarters. Other
limits, like education, property ownership, or other things always seem
to get struck down as unreasonable limitations.

I'm a big proponent of a basic political awareness test before being allowed
to vote!
