Haley doubles down on cognitive tests as White House, older lawmakers bristle

Nikki Haley plotted with Kushner and Ivanka to be Trump vice-president

Describing his own anger when Haley secured a personal Oval Office meeting with Trump without checking with him, Pompeo writes that Haley in fact “played” Trump’s then chief of staff, John Kelly, and instead of meeting the president alone, was accompanied by Trump’s daughter and her husband, both senior advisers.

“As best Kelly could tell,” Pompeo writes, “they were presenting a possible ‘Haley for vice-president’ option. I can’t confirm this, but [Kelly] was certain he had been played, and he was not happy about it. Clearly, this visit did not reflect a team effort but undermined our work for America.”

Claiming she had “never worked in DC”, the former ambassador to the United Nations who was part of Trump’s White House cabinet and met with the president in the Oval Office, said it was “time that we start putting a fire on what’s happening in Congress”.

The UN is in NYC stupid.

You truly are illiterate.
He’s either trolling you or drunk again. Maybe both.
 
The Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley’s demand for mental competency tests for politicians older than 75 is “absurd” and ageist, the Vermont senator Bernie Sanders said.

“We are fighting racism, we’re fighting sexism, we’re fighting homophobia, I think we should also be fighting ageism,” Sanders, 81, told CBS’s Face the Nation.

Let's see if I got this right. Pompeo was pissed because she met with Trump without checking with Pompeo first. Because she did that she played Kelly and met Trump with Ivanka and Jared.
If that's correct, what's your fucking point?

The job of the UN ambassador is in NYC. Meeting someone at their office doesn't mean that's their place of employment.
Jeez.
Who's drunk? You and BP both?

You and I agree. It will take a constitutional amendment though. When CO tried to limit their Senators and Congresscritters the SCOTUS ruled that it was unconstitutional.

Agreed it would take an amendment, meaning it’s very unlikely to happen. AFAIK, requiring all elected officials to pass a competency and drug/alcohol test shouldn’t need an amendment.

FWIW, I hope Lemon is fired just like his buddy Cuomo.

Don Lemon taking a 'holiday,' will return on air depending on 'where his head is at:' CNN insider
Lemon will not appear on air Monday or Tuesday, a CNN insider told Fox News Digital
 
does the constitution say mentally incompetent people can remain in office?......

The Constitution does not require a mental competency test as a qualification for president; that requirement cannot be added as a requirement (without an amendment).

Inability to serve is the purpose of the 25th Amendment.

Partly. It’s also to meet with the Executive branch administration and Congress.

You, dumbass.

It’s an easy fix; just make all Federal elected officials and appointees take annual mental competency exams and subject to random drug/alcohol testing.
 
What if they do not pass?
Appointees get fired. Elected officials are more challenging. George Santos is an example there. If nothing else, they’d hold their seat but be stripped of all committees. The President would be subject to the 25th Amendment. Impeach the rest?
