Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) reportedly plans to file a bill that would require the White House to have an in-house psychiatrist.

“I’m looking at it from the perspective of, if there are questions about the mental health of the president of the United States, what may be the best way to get the president treatment?” Lieu told the Huffington Post. “We’re now in the 21st century. Mental health is just as important as physical health,” he added.

ADVERTISEMENT The Democratic lawmaker reportedly plans to introduce the bill as early as next week.

Lieu has previously raised concerns with President Trump's mental health, suggesting that the commander in chief could use a mental health evaluation.

Amen, amen!!

[Publius]

Exactly. This is the second time in two days that the Left has attempted to implant this meme.

How about drug and alcohol testing daily for all members of Congress?

Yup

I think it is a pretty good idea, except they should be assigned for the Judicial and Legislative Branches. Also, every member of Congress and every Judge should pass a test on the US Constituion once per year and receive a renewable ‘license’ to write Laws and give Judgements...

My dad worked in a nasty prison. Inmates who were crazy spent all their time doing crap like these democrats just to increase parasitic drag on the system.

Everyone running for FedMob office should be subject to a mental eval., drug & alcohol testing, background check and a basic Constitution 101 test, all to be made public, before getting on the ticket.

Random MH evals, D&A testing and background checks to continue while in office.

I had no idea democrats were so eager to confirm Trumps Surgeon General appointment.

Gay State Conservative :" Republicans should attach a rider which also reestablishes the House Un-American Activities Committee.And then we can watch the fun begin..."

Worthy of a repeat, a little louder :

" Republicans should attach a rider which also reestablishes the House Un-American Activities Committee.
And then we can watch the fun begin..."

I’m fine with this as long as there are more than one shrink, one the president can pick himself and one selected at random from a list of at least 100 bi-partisan picks.

Sorry about the repost
I sent only one !

They are incapable of keeping up with Trump. We actually have a president who is competent, hard working, and serving the public, not the establishment.

Mr President, now would be a good time to issue an order requiring EVERY Member of Congress to undergo DAILY DRUG and ALCOHOL TESTING!

[conservativehistorian]

A bit late.
Where were the Democrats when both JFK and Bill Clinton were disabled by sex addiction and Obama was troubled by malignant narcissism?
More democrat hypocrisy.

[Publius]

And annual intelligence testing.

[jazusamo]

Sounds like Ted Lieu should visit a psychiatrist himself.

Loved The President's Analyst! One Day at a Time's Pat Harrington as a Phone Company robot. Boy Meets World's William Daniels as a gun toting White House tourist. Great movie.

Drug and financial background check for Congress first...and audits of their bank accounts for $$$ from foreign entities first...oh, and proof they’ve worked for at least a year in PRIVATE SECTOR.
