    Ah, so wanting kids to pass tests that would put them on the path to military fitness or provide lists of capable soldiers. I see what you’re doing…

      The fact that everything is so out in the open and the ‘president’ isn’t being removed is proof that American democracy is officially dead.

      Encouraging youth fitness is hardly something to be upset about, and using a power he has to … encourage youth fitness … is certainly not something to remove the president from office over.

        Why was the Presidential Fitness Test discontinued?

        In 2012, the Obama administration replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with the Presidential Youth Fitness Program to promote an overall active and healthy lifestyle rather than athleticism.

      I had bone spurs in my shoulder once. Then I had an operation and no longer had bone spurs. Then my shoulder worked normally, and I could do normal things.

        Or, more likely, it’d just be used to keep disabled people even further out of politics than they already are
