Fifty-four Republicans have called for President Joe Biden to take a cognitive test. They are questioning his fitness to serve as president.
The Republicans sent a letter to Biden demanding that he take a cognitive test like Trump did and make the results available to the American people.
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-IN), Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson (R-LA) all signed the letter.
The letter says:
We again write to you to express concern with your current cognitive state and to urge you to submit to a cognitive test immediately. We believe that, regardless of gender, age, or political party, all Presidents should follow the example set by former President Trump to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.
While you underwent your annual physical exam on November 19, 2021, you either did not face a cognitive test or those results were withheld from the public. White House Physician Kevin O’Connor, D.O., attested to you being “fit to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency” in a very superficial, and purely physical manner; however, we are worried about your mental abilities.
As you may remember, multiple Members of Congress joined together to send you a letter on this issue on two separate occasions since the start of this Congress. The first was in June of last year and the second was in February of this year, however, you have not replied to either of these letters.
The letter then went on to say that Americans are losing faith in Biden’s ability to act effectively as president.
The letter shared that “66% of voters believe that you should take a cognitive test.”
It also added that “only 33% of voters approve of the job that you have done as President.”
The letter went on to say that this should not be a hard task to do and that President Trump did it:
This is not an unprecedented request. Starting in 2018, political opponents and members of the media clamored for your predecessor, then-President Trump, to take a cognitive test. In response, the White House Physician conducted a Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) for President Trump, at which he excelled.
According to Dr. Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test, MOCA is a simple screening tool to identify early signs of mental impairment.11 Dr. Nasreddine said the test is best administered when a person or their loved ones “start noticing mental decline.”
The letter ends by pointing out that this is not a partisan issue:
This is also not a partisan issue. As Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin previously pointed out, with many politicians and the population at large growing older, “it’s not hard to think that there will be future situations where the President’s physical and mental state may create issues for us.”
At the time of this quote, Representative Raskin introduced legislation to establish an independent commission that could examine a President’s fitness for office and determine “whether the President is mentally or physically unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office.”
We agree with these statements. As such, we encourage you to follow the example set by President Trump, by undergoing a cognitive test as soon as possible and immediately making the results available for the American people.”
Will Biden take a cognitive test? Will Biden even make it to the end of his term? Only time will tell.
Make him take the test now tell him he has no choice, so take it and get it over withso all the american people will know if hes able or not.
