No state that I'm aware of tests their representatives for drug use upon election. I find this hypocritical considering the majority of Americans MUST submit to a drug test prior to employment.
I understand that the supreme courts have ruled the idea of drug testing politicians as "a violation of the fourth amendment", which implies that a politician is entitled to more rights than an average citizen.
The same requirements should be in effect for our politicians as they are in effect for the people they represent. Most claims I have seen refer to "if a person does not agree with drug testing they should apply for a different job". This same logic should be adhered to the politicians that are requesting to work for the American citizens who already submit to this unconstitutional burden.
