Wellingnes in the White House

Should every President of the United States be required to take a mental fitness test? Most Presidents HAVE taken mental exams for their prior jobs in law enforcement, as lawyers or in the military. Police Officers are required as well as folks who pass the Bar exam to be lawyers, take a mental illness exam. Yes, America doesn’t want crazy people determining our fate on the streets with an authorized gun as in police officers and we don’t want the crazy people defending us in court or sentencing us to jail if they are crazy. It all makes sense but it doesn’t make sense to have a crazy person being able to make the decision to launch nuclear weapons or determine our financial fate. After seeing all the crazy Trump has already done in the White House, Congress needs to get busy and pass a law requiring that ANY President should take an Are You Crazy test!
The author of the now famous book called Fire and Fury that is an insider’s look at what is going on in the White House now is revealing that there is a lot of crazy going on. People are resigning or getting fired all the time. President Trump will not disclose his tax returns and now refuses to take a mental fitness exam. Why? If he is that confident that there is no fraud in his finances or mental illness, why not agree to any test? He is always vocal demanding all kinds of disclosures from Obama and Hillary from birth certificates to murder. All of his allegations towards them have proven to be false statements and unwarranted hysteria.
Trump is the oldest elected President and a mental capacity component as well as the physical exam should be required for such an important job that puts the world at edge. We need a certified sane person as our President. We know that President John   F. Kennedy as well as President Richard Nixon took daily psychiatric medication but did that on their own. There was no requirement to do so. Their mental issues did not disqualify them from the Presidency. The problem with Trump is that if he does have mental instability, he needs treatment.
There was passed by Barry Goldwater a law in the 1960’s called the Goldwater Rule that states “that it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination with proper authorization for such statements.” Violations of the rule will get you kicked out of the American Psychiatric Association and your license to practice medicine can be revoked. So a doctor will not say he is crazy until he is evaluated and fails the test!
It was President Carter who pushed for the creation of a panel of physicians who would routinely evaluate a President to determine if a President’s judgement was clouded by a mental disability. COMGRESS BRING BACK CARTER’S IDEA. There is no such medical commission currently in place. Tax payers would love to pay taxes for the cost of insuring our safety from a possible nut at the controls in the White House.
It is widely known that mental issues can hit someone at any given time. Now that a President can and is voted to be President without any qualifications for the job; no military experience, no law enforcement experience and no law degree, that all require mental fitness exams for those jobs, we need it to also be a requirement for the Presidency.  Make your Congressman demand it!
