I mean it literally is unconstitutional because the constitution is what governs the requirements and processes for eligibility and the electing of presidents. Although this is a good idea you would have to make an amendment to the constitution for it to be a law and it would not be authoritarian. However when you start talking about a test of cognitive ability it gets real subjective and starts resembling a voter literacy test pretty quickly.
