He led a joint letter to the president. Guy Reschenthaler claimed that the president’s many public “gaffes” were a “national security concern.”

“If you are mentally ill to the point that you cannot stand trial, as the Department of Justice claims, then your mental health is at a level unfit for leadership of the free world,” Republican lawmakers wrote in a letter to him. We are concerned that this is not the case, so we urge everyone to take a clinically validated cognitive screening assessment and make their results available to the public.”
This is the fifth such request by Jackson. He said his previous four inquiries went unanswered.
“This is the fifth time we have sent a letter to the White House requesting that Mr. Biden undergo cognitive testing, but the administration has chosen to ignore each of these requests,” “It is becoming clearer each day that there is a problem,” Jackson told FOX News Digital in a statement. “I am proud to have Council President Stefanik, Chief of Staff Guy Reschenthaler, and dozens of House colleagues join us in this effort.”

The Republican senators’ letter goes on to say, “Over the past three years, your mental decline and forgetfulness have become more pronounced. You walk with a limp or stumble, you have slurred speech, and you forget names. “It’s common for people to forget something.” Their train of thought is so disorganized that when they appear in public, here at home and on the world stage, they appear confused or asleep. ”
