House Dem introduces measure urging Trump undergo mental exam

By Cristina Marcos - 08/18/17 04:39 PM EDT

A House Democrat introduced a resolution on Friday suggesting that President Trump undergo a physical and mental health exam to help determine whether he is fit for office.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren’s (D-Calif.) resolution specifically calls on Vice President Pence and Trump’s Cabinet members to “quickly secure the services of medical and psychiatric professionals” to “assist in their deliberations” invoking the 25th Amendment, which outlines presidential removal procedures.

It posits that such an examination by doctors would “determine whether the president suffers from mental disorder or other injury that impairs his abilities and prevents him from discharging his Constitutional duties.”

Under the 25th Amendment, the vice president and a majority of Cabinet members can jointly declare that a president is unfit to serve. Two-thirds of both the House and Senate would have to vote to force the president’s resignation in the event the president refused to cede the Oval Office to the vice president.

Her resolution states: “President Donald J. Trump has exhibited an alarming pattern of behavior and speech causing concern that a mental disorder may have rendered him unfit and unable to fulfill his Constitutional duties.”

Old Soviet/yes, NAZI, tactic of finding those you do not agree with to be insane and sticking them in an asylum or gulag.

Dems need to check their crazies ‘cause there is a BOATLOAD of them.

All DemoRats should undergo psychiatric treatment for Trump Derangement Syndrome, and then kill themselves.

What IS a mental exam? I remember the one the Battalion shrink gave Charles Bronson in “the Dirty Dozen”. Hillarious! He had the shrink’s head spinning by his word-associations; all his answers were total non-sequiturs involving baseball.
He asked Bronson, “All your responses seem to be about baseball...”
Bronson replied, “I like BASEball.”

If you’re an ordinary citizen, don’t run for office, and don’t make waves or the Swamp will rape you, is the message loud and clear. Yeah, we get it. Stuff it, Swamp.

Steady on, Trump!

My feelings, too. How much of this are we supposed to take? Including our spineless Republican “representatives” putting up with this crap?
