Constitutional Ammendment
This is a petition calling for a constitutional amendment. It should read as follows.
All government officials, elected, appointed, or employed beginning at age 70 must submit to and provide to the people a full medical exam that test for physical and cognitive impairment.
If it is found by a competent medical practitioner that the government official is suffering from physical ailment due to age or injury that would hinder their ability to perform the duties that their position within government demands they will resign, retire, or be offered severance and removed from government service.
If it is found by a competent medical practitioner that the government official is suffering from cognitive impairment of any level due to age, injury, or medical incident they will resign, retire, or be offered severance and removed from government service.
The results of the offered medical examination will be reviewed by a three-person panel consisting of a competent medical practitioner from the office of the Surgeon General, a competent medical practitioner from the Department of Defense, and a federal court appointed active judge not older than age 70. The focus of the review will be on the thoroughness, methodology, and results of the exam to ensure that the individual is not being maligned in any way shape of form.
The second article should read as follows.
Appointment to the supreme court will end upon submission of a medical examination submission as described in article one of this amendment or at Age 80 whichever comes first.
The elected representative to the federal government of the people from the several states will serve terms as follows the House of representative will serve a term of 3 years. The Senate will serve a term of 4 years, the president will serve a term of 6 years.
The house of representatives will have a 3-year term limit. the Senate will have a two-term limit and the president will have a 1 term limit.
Just a thought. what do you think? let me know in the comments.
