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."

Dumb idea.

Yes because that would certainly pass constitutional muster.

Can we get Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi to take the test?

I don't see where this could go wrong. Have a government employee that reports to someone the President appointed certify whether or not a candidate is sane? Sounds like it could be free of bias.

Also, is there any way to appeal the decision if it is unfavorable?

So we could have a democratic election to pick between two government approved candidates?

Why limit it to presidential candidates? Expand it to all elected officials in the federal government. As usual, some Lib in Congress attempting to exclude themselves from the rules they seek to place on others.

i actually like the idea if its amended to read:

this act requires all political candidates for national office to undergo medical examination by 3 different independent medical examiners and certified as mentally stable and rational. if at any time they make statements that call into question their ability to face and accept clearly defined facts, reason rationally, and function normally, as determined by a certified licensed mental medical professional, they will have to submit to a re-examination by 3 different independent medical examiners and re-certified as mentally stable and rational.

that right there by itself would take half the dems out of congress immediately
