Test politicians for drugs

When I was a teacher I had to take a drug test. My nephews, a police officer and a firefighter, had to take a drug test.

Yet those running for the most important position in our country — president of the United States — do not have to take a drug test. And those running for the Senate and the House don’t have to, either.

How about state senators and state house? Why do they have this exemption?
