Should politicians over 75 years of age have required to pass a mental competency test?

No Yes No, I would prefer term limits instead No, our government needs experienced leaders No, this discriminates against older politicians Yes, and ban anyone over the age of retirement from running for office No, mental competency is too subjective and the testing process could be abused Yes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test

Countries that have mandatory retirements for politicians include Argentina (age 75), Brazil (75 for judges and prosecutors), Mexico (70 for judges and prosecutors) and Singapore (75 for members of parliament.)
