"Only natural born citizens shall be eligible for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States who are at least 35 years of age and have resided within the United States for at least 14 years. No person constitutionally ineligible to hold the office of President shall be eligible to hold the office of Vice President." United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 1 and Amendment 12

Can we add just a couple more requirements to this one? How 'bout a basic English skills test? I never thought we'd need one, but here are just a few reasons why we do:

"Shadowy terrorists could hook up with a nation that has got weapons of mass destruction, the nations that I labeled axis of evil, people who in one case have gassed their own people with a weapons of mass destruction."

"Within this Cabinet department, we're going to have four basic functions. One are borders."

"We hold dear what our Declaration of Independence says, that all have got uninalienable rights, endowed by a Creator."

I mean, come on, the man is going to have to do a substantial amount of public speaking. Don’t you think it’s reasonable that he knows how to speak? How did we let this get by us? Since Bush is so gung-ho on testing kids, I propose a rider onto any legislation that requires testing that also requires the president to pass the sames tests. Maybe he's trying to illustrate just how bad the education system is. (Didn't he go to two ivy league schools?). Whatever it is, it's embarassing.
