GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley reiterated her call to require older politicians to take a mental competency test, in light of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) recent health scare.

McConnell, 81, froze for a brief period of time while answering questions from reporters last week, and has since been cleared to resume his duties in the Senate by the attending physician for Congress, Dr. Brian Monahan. The physician claimed the apparent dizzy spell was not unusual for people recovering from a concussion or for those who are dehydrated.

The health scare was the second such incident for McConnell this summer.

Haley, the former United States ambassador to the United Nations, backed mental competency tests for politicians over the age of 75 in February, and she referenced McConnell, 81; Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), 90; former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 83; and President Joe Biden, 80; all of whom who have faced questions about their mental acuity in recent months, as to why she supports such requirements.

"I’m completely for mental competency tests for anyone over the age of 75, and I’m not saying that to be disrespectful," she said on CBS's Face The Nation on Sunday morning. "Here you have Mitch McConnell, who has done great service to the country; you have Dianne Feinstein, who had a great career; you’ve got Nancy Pelosi, who has been there a long time. At what point do they get, it’s time to leave? They need to let a younger generation take over."

The test Haley has in mind, she said, would include basic questions like, “How many grandchildren do you have?” and “Name four words that start with the same letter,” and “Where were you born?”

"We want to go and start working for our kids, to make sure we have a strong national security, to make sure we have a stronger economic policy, to make sure that America is safe, and we can’t do that if these individuals refuse to give up power. This is not just a Republican or Democrat problem, this is a congressional problem. They have to know when to leave," she added. "There’s a reason the American people want term limits. It’s because they don’t want people staying there forever. They don’t want people drunk on the power. They don’t want people to think they’re the only ones that know how to run Congress."

The former South Carolina governor also recently called the Senate "the most privileged nursing home in the country."
