I don't. Ralph Nader remains sharp as a tack at 88. One still needs to be wiping their own ass though. I'd draw the line there.

oh no candy disagreed.....i guess she doesnt care if a president has lapses in their thought patterns....any president over 70 should be checked for their physical as well as mental health....anyone over 70 should not be allowed to run for President or VP.....
They cant just do that. Its unconstitutional.Now that the GOP has the rock, I think they should launch a bill to make the annual presidential physical a federal law. Currently the President is not required to undergo any health physical. The disclosure, like income tax releases, was just something they did. But now I think the GOP should enact a bill to make it mandatory. And, depending on the make-up of the bill of course, I would support the concept and probably the bill.
Those who watched The West Wing may recall that the President hid a multiple sclerosis diagnosis (he had it before he became President) from the public. And while it was in remission, it wasn't showing up on his annual physicals. Of course, this is fiction. But it also has happened in the past. Woodrow Wilson had a massive stroke on 10/2/1919 and was bedridden for most of the presidency thereafter. He developed dementia. His wife essentially ran the Presidency. While I doubt that would happen these days, like everything else, we should codify a statute stating that the President needs to go through a required health exam.
Mary Graham wrote a book on the subject called Presidential Secrets; The Use and Abuse of Hidden Power. On a podcast she recently said:
I think we’re going to have to have an act of Congress that provides the information. Sofinancial disclosure is now routine. Shouldn’t we also have an annual health disclosure for apresident who so much depends on? Some group can decide if there’s something in the reportthat suggests a developing health problem that might relate to the president’s capacity togovern, then that should be revealed. I really believe in the American people, if they have theinformation they’ll then decide what to do whether it’s at the next election or making their voicesheard in a way that forces the people within the administration to face the issue.I think she makes some great points. I'm not so sure it should be something required for candidates but once they get into office, they become our employee. We should be able to know if the health of the guardian of the people's trust is physically able to do the job.
The Democrats would likely never go for it in this day and age with a Democratic president. So the bill, if introduced, should be set to go into effect in 2030 or at some other time in the future. I would say that they should do it quarterly.
Its only a "living document" by means of the amendment process, federal supremacist.Yeah, try reading them. It was designed to be a living document, you ass.
Some presidents control the doctor.. like Ronnie Jackson.
Utterly predictable, and no, it's not.Thats Donald Tramp!!
.Utterly predictable, and no, it's not.
Wrong. I'm a "loose constructionist" or realist.Its only a "living document" by means of the amendment process, federal supremacist.
Bully for you, originalist. What was "the original intent" of allowing for amendments? Just to get the thing signed in the first place by a measly thirteen States.. they had to add ten.In United States constitutional law, the Living Constitution view, also known as loose constructionism, changes the interpretation of the document over time. The opposing view, originalism, holds that the original intent or meaning of the writers of the Constitution should guide its interpretation.
You are a federal supremacist. I have been reading your bullshit for years.
Some unknown Republican and who gives a flying fuck? Your conflation of "A federal supremacist" with "living document" is what's BS. Pipe down and actually learn something before opening that pie hole:You are a federal supremacist. I have been reading your bullshit for years.
The "living document" bullshit was made up by...... care to take a guess?
A federal supremacist named Charles Hughes
He was chief justice of the supreme court, dumbass.Some unknown Republican and who gives a flying fuck? Your conflation of "A federal supremacist" with "living document" is what's BS. Pipe down and actually learn something before opening that pie hole:

He was a Republican dumbass and he was Republican, dumbass. And still nothing to offer supporting this wacked notion of being "made to justify giving the SC power to do whatever the hell they want, and take power from the states and the individual."He was chief justice of the supreme court, dumbass.
I know what the theory is. It was made to justify giving the SC power to do whatever the hell they want, and take power from the states and the individual.
And you support it, like the good federal supremacist you are.
Who cares if he was a republican or not? In your "mind" is that supposed to mean something?He was a Republican dumbass and he was Republican, dumbass. And still nothing to offer supporting this wacked notion of being "made to justify giving the SC power to do whatever the hell they want, and take power from the states and the individual."
Face it. You just can't manage to explain how my support for a living Constitution makes me a federal supremacist in any coherent manner. Well, fuck you very much too, asshole. Hope you feel better.
So you don't feel better. Oh well, I tried.Who cares if he was a republican or not? In your "mind" is that supposed to mean something?
I already did, you illiterate moron.
The living document theory is some bullshit a federal supremacist made up to justify the fed gov doing whatever in the hell it wants.
Intent doesnt change over time, amendments can.
Now fuck off, hack.
And you are still willfully ignorant.So you don't feel better. Oh well, I tried.
Can’t paint all 70 y/o with a broad brush.oh no candy disagreed.....i guess she doesnt care if a president has lapses in their thought patterns....
no you cant...but as we have seen every president over 70 has had some kind of mental problems as we have seen with Reagan and Trump and now Biden....and no one is telling you who you can vote for.....there is such a thing as qualifications....why does a president have to be at least 35 years old?.....are we painting all 25 and 30 year olds with that brush?...being president is the most stress filled job in this country....Can’t paint all 70 y/o with a broad brush.
I also don’t like being told who I can vote for
