      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 would love if the president had to be able to run a mile and do pull-ups. Might keep these braindead racists off the throne.

      A presidential fitness test for the president and congress would be pretty cool actually.

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

    No one can do it because they all have bone spurs. So sad, but what can you do?

      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.

    According to the article the program only ended in 2013? I was in high school before that date in the states and never heard anything about a fitness test

      If that was a serious concern, there wouldn’t be so many overweight cops.
