On Tuesday, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), a former White House physician for three presidential administrations, demanded that Joe Biden take a cognitive test to prove that he is mentally capable of carrying out his duties as president in a letter he circulated to fellow Republicans.
“We call on you to either resign immediately and renounce your bid for reelection or submit to a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make those results available to the public,” Jackson’s letter reads, which is addressed to Biden, as Fox News Digital has previously reported. “When you first announced your bid to run in the 2020 presidential election, questions and concerns were raised surrounding your cognitive abilities. Those concerns have only increased because your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more apparent since you were elected.”
Jackson’s concerns are not without merit. Many Americans have expressed similar concerns about Biden’s mental fitness; some even call for his resignation. The presidency is demanding and requires a high level of mental and physical fitness. If Biden is not up to the task, then it is the duty of Congress to take action.
‘DOES THE PRESIDENT PLAN TO SERVE ALL EIGHT YEARS?’ KARINE JEAN-PIERRE WON’T ANSWER
Of course, some will dismiss Jackson’s concerns as partisan politics. Even Barack Obama, who Jackson served as White House doctor under, expressed his discontent. However, Jackson has stated that his concerns are not about politics, but rather about the safety and security of our country.
Moreover, Jackson’s call for a cognitive test is not unprecedented. In 2018, then-President Donald Trump took a cognitive test and passed with flying colors. The test, known as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, is a standardized test that is designed to evaluate a person’s cognitive capabilities. If Biden were to take the test and pass, it would go a long way in reassuring the American people about his mental fitness.
In conclusion, Rep. Ronny Jackson’s demand that Joe Biden takes a cognitive test is reasonable given many Americans’ concerns about the president’s mental fitness. The presidency is a demanding job that requires a high level of mental and physical fitness. If Biden is not up to the task, then it is the duty of Congress to take action. We should not dismiss Jackson’s concerns as partisan politics, but rather give them the serious consideration they deserve. The American people are concerned and they deserve to have their concerns assuaged.
