I presume 'lunatic' can refer to someone who has some sort of mental disability such as would prevent his/her ability to hold office, but how does one define 'idiot'? Someone with an IQ below a certain proscribed level maybe?

I presume these definitions must come from some rather old piece of legislation, as the definitions are certainly not very good in the political correctness department.

Somebody with some good legal knowledge fill me in...
