Lawmakers become more ignorant with every election. Lawmakers have attempted to address this issue by passing measures meant to increase validation and literacy requirements for voters. Didn't work.
President Obama, what we need, is for all politicians to pass their SPIT ( Special Politician Intelligence Test ) with a score of 90% or more.
