We need to change the requirements to serve in Congress.

Requirements to Become a U.S. Representative

According to Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, House members must be:

at least 25 years of age;

a citizen of the United States for at least seven years prior to being elected;

a resident of the state he or she is chosen to represent.

In addition, the post-Civil War Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits any person who has taken any federal or state oath swearing to support the Constitution, but later took part in a rebellion or otherwise aided any enemy of the U.S. from serving in the House or Senate.

And

Requirements to run for Senate

At least 30 years old

A U.S. citizen for at least nine years at the time of election to the Senate

A resident of the state one is elected to represent in the Senate

In addition, the post-Civil War Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits any person who has taken any federal or state oath swearing to support the Constitution, but later took part in a rebellion or otherwise aided any enemy of the U.S. from serving in the House or Senate.

Some judge ruled Greene could run even after her involvement in January 6 and her rhetoric.

We have got to tighten up the requirements. Psychological evaluation?!

That evaluation must come from independent sources but I agree.
