A Democratic lawmaker says that he will introduce legislation that would require presidential candidates to undergo a mental health examination following a tweet from President Trump in which he praised himself as a "stable genius."
Rep. Brendan Boyle's office said in a press release that the Pennsylvania Democrat would introduce the "Stable Genius Act" in the House on Tuesday.
The act would require all presidential candidates to file a Federal Election Commission (FEC) report "certifying that he or she has undergone medical examination by the medical office under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Navy."
Boyle said in the statement that American voters have the right to know whether a candidate has the mental fortitude to withstand the pressures of the White House.

ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION!
But this must also mean that people who hide things like possible Parkinson’s disease or alcoholism or dementia would be screened out by this as well. Sound like someone familiar to anyone here?
I MIGHT agree with this, if they guarantee that they wikk Beta test it on Piglosi, Mcturtle,Schmuck Schumer, and 90% of the rest of them in COngress!
Have it for everyone ,LOL
Don’t they know tests can have built in bias? /sarc
A mental examination should exclude all Progressives from office. After all, they believe that Communism is great, but it hasn’t been done right yet and that taking people’s hard-earned money and giving it to freeloaders is the basis for an economy.
Then this means NO DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT EVER! The last “genius” they had was some idiot who said we had 59 states.
Dang, even Boyle has come down with a bad case of TDS. Thought he was a tad smarter than the average Dem (he used to be my Congresscritter).
Can’t wait to see Chuck and Nancy and Maxine forced to take it as well.
Dude ... I thought this was your work. But NoOoOoOo! It's real, God help us!
Why don’t we post the names on the Congressional Sexual Harassment Slush Fund listing & have their heads examined. After they pay back the money.
I’m going to call DeSantis’ office tomorrow and ask him to add an ammendment that makes it apply to all of Congress.
Who tests the testers? Who appoints them? Party line vote? If so, we could have gotten rid of Obama!
This should be required of all elected officials.
Brendan Boyle should be taken out behind the Capitol and flogged.
Unconstitutional. You can’t add requirements on to who can be president. What starts out as “mental health” will really be political correctness.
.
Endless bullshit!
.
Hilary did not appear on her own election night and says she screams into her pillow. Any test she can pass is invalid.
HAHAHAHA! I love it! Let’s make it retroactive to O$hithead and all the rat leadership!!
