Looking forward to the next presidential election, I would like potential candidates to complete aptitude tests in the same way that applicants for less-crucial positions are required to do.

In this way, voters could be assured that whoever gets the job is equipped with better-than-average intelligence and adequate negotiating skills.

I also hope that a foolproof system of voting can be produced.

And Illinois citizens deserve an opportunity to choose among competitors in a primary election.
