Critics of President Trump and his administration are questioning his mental fitness: is Donald Trump stable enough to lead the United States? In response, the President tweeted on January 6th, 'I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!' After that tweet, Congressman Brendan Boyle, who represents the thirteenth district of Pennsylvania, saw an opening to move forward with the 'Stable Genius Act.' "I've never heard someone who is stable or a genius self-declare that they are either or both," he said.
The "Stable Genius Act" is an acronym for the "Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act." The bill aims to make physical examinations of presidential candidates mandatory before elections. The Congressman says the bill would require all future presidential nominees to be examined by the presidential physician, a military officer, to ensure they are in the right physical and mental state to govern.
Congressman Boyle says he has had serious conversations with Democrats in Congress about passing the legislation. He is confident that come January 2019, Democrats will again hold control in taking back Congress, and be able to turn the "Stable Genius Act" into law.
