If we could get it to 88 MPH, we could time-travel back to 1983, when you could get one really cheap. Then BTTF came out in 1985, and that's when the remaining inventory all got bought up.

If I could, I'd vote for butt magnets!

In the modern media age, we learn an awful lot about political candidates if we take the time to pay attention to them. Setting a cutoff limit for intelligence isn't necessary, as an interested voting public can judge for themselves. But if you were to raise the idea of such a test, what else would you test for? After all, intelligence isn't the only factor that makes a good leader. You also have age (and some offices have limits on that), ethics, criminal record, education, judgment, physical health, mental health, experience, political leanings, policies, past performance, leadership abilities, management skills, etc etc, which all matter. Placing a cutoff limit on any of those things might bar someone who could be a good leader, depending on where you draw the lines. And you'd never be able to get people to agree on the lines. You have to judge the whole of a person as best you can before you cast your vote.

But what will we do here at Neatorama when Google hires you away?

Good point. Our frame of reference is different from that of those warriors of the past. It might be interesting to survey the incidence of PTSD, using the same standard of diagnosis, in different cultures.

A the same time, the people sitting on the top will feel entitled to ask the lucky ones on the bottom to go get them another drink or snack.

I think YouTube needs to hear that complaint (and others). Meanwhile, when the music is too loud, you can pause a video by clicking on it anywhere, and then use the "YouTube link" to watch it on their site, which has all the controls.
