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!
