Becoming President of the US without first passing (without cheating) the US citizenship test given to immigrants who wish to become citizens. And since the questions vary, give the candidates (and the current asshole) some hard questions.

I'd just get rid of that thing altogether. The test is ridiculous, and many if not most Americans would not be able to pass it. The test needs to go.

I see that as being a flaw with our education system rather than the test, tbh. Civics/US government needs to be a required course for all students. I was horrified when I graduated from private school and found out that it WASN'T mandatory, because my school required all students to take a year-long class dedicated to civics and the US government so that we had a firm understanding of exactly how the government works, why the different parts are needed/what they do, etc. Everyone should know those things to be a responsible and informed citizen.

Okay, sure, it would be great if everyone knew this stuff. But as a requirement for citizenship? Ridiculous and discriminatory given that people born here don't have to take the test or lose their citizenship.

I'm not sure what I think the appropriate consequences should be for failing, but I think US citizens should have to take the test and pass it too. It's just basic knowledge about our government, and since we're a democracy, I think it's critical for everyone to understand their rights and responsibilities as well as the government's role and what it can and can't do. It would also make it a lot harder for politicians to pull one over on the people if the people knew that, say, Senator X doesn't actually have the power to do what he claims he's going to try to do.

That doesn't mean that it's necessarily a reasonable test, or a meaningful test, for immigrants or citizens.
