WASHINGTON — Nikki Haley’s recent suggestion that politicians of a certain age should submit to cognitive testing seemed like an early shot across the bow of Election 2024. President Biden, whose age is sometimes painfully apparent, was 77 when elected and is now 78. Donald Trump was a mere lad of 70 when elected and was 74 when he faced Biden in 2020. Should presidents, vice presidents and other elected leaders be forced to take cognitive tests? Who should preside over such examinations, and how should they be reported to the public?
