High IQ doesn't necessarily equate to a good candidate. A fair number of liberals in legislature, congress, and the White House would probably score very high on an IQ test. We've got our fill of those types.
I really don't think that most of the government officials destroying our nation are stupid.
They're quite smart, really. They give us the illusion of choice while they continue marching us towards tyranny.
Many people I've met with high IQ's lack common sense and the ability to properly use their brain power to solve real life problems.
OK, it sounds like instead of a minimum IQ law, we should have a maximum IQ restriction for both voters and candidates. If you are smart, you cannot vote or run for office! That's the American way.
Maybe there should be an IQ test, or a common sense test, or at least a test for some semblance of BS detection, before being allowed to post on INGO? Purple font is not used in real life.

Character/integrity/values/etc are more important than IQ imho.
Being a governor or president isn't rocket science.
