In order to serve in an office of public trust and compensation all elected officials should be certified as Constitutional Scholars.
Giving a just anyyone the right to serve the public would be like hiring a chimpanzee to do brain surgery,
I would like to propose that counties pass an ordinance requiring all candidates running for a public office be to take and pass a test on their Constitutional knowledge.
Any individual that wishes to run for an office of public trust should be required to be certofied as a Constitutional Scholar. The names of all persons in a district that are qualified as a Comstitutional Scholars should have their names put in a hat and the name of the candidate drawn will be chosen to fill the vacant seat.
