I think most countries would benefit from a competency test for public office, maybe even a morality assessment...

    The more serious answer to that is that someone then needs to decide what "competent" means. Should a human rights activist be disqualified from office if they're terrible at math?

    Morality tests are even harder to make apolitically. It's another avenue of attack that could be used maliciously.
