Rep.
Scott DesJarlais has called for an amendment to
the Constitution that would require presidential
nominees to show proof of "cognitive competence.".
The amendment holds that, "No person shall be eligible to hold the office
of President or Vice President unless the person demonstrates cognitive competence.".
Fox News reports that the amendment also gives Congress the authority to determine how to test candidates for president and vice president.
The news comes just days after presidential
candidate Nikki Haley called for "mental
competency tests" for lawmakers over the age of 75.
Last week, when Haley announced
her candidacy, she said it was time for
the "permanent politician" to step aside.
.
She reportedly added that while
America is not past its prime, "our politicians are past theirs.".
According to Fox News, both statements
were widely perceived as a dig at both
President Biden and former President Trump.

This should be a completely nonpartisan

leaders that are mentally competent.
How this is not already a requirement

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions.

As the deadline to prevent a government shutdown rapidly approaches, former President Donald Trump has dismissed a bipartisan agreement between Republicans and Democrats. Trump pushed for a controversial new deal that includes a three-month government funding extension and a two-year suspension of the debt ceiling, a proposal that was swiftly rejected by the House of Representatives. With crucial public services and federal workers at risk, Congress must act fast to avoid a shutdown. Will lawmakers come together in time to avert this crisis just days before Christmas?
