So true.
A comprehensive physical and mental exam doesn’t violate that document that I know of.
On paper, and in practice, all members of Congress and the Executive Branch ought to not be too infirm to serve.
The exam doesn't, but publishing the information without the consent of the individual violates US law and prohibiting someone from getting the party nomination would essentially disclose the results.
You also may run afoul of age discrimination laws. Someone doesn't have to be over a specific age to be mentally impaired.
Here's a thought, if someone thinks a candidate lacks the mental (or physical) attributes necessary to serve...DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.
