What medical facility would be the most objective regarding health exams for Presidential Candidates

[Sundance508]

Well, Walter Reed comes to mind...but i seem to remember hearing they have some problems.

Anhow I think all presidential candidates should have to undergo a health screening of the most objective kind available.

 

[OldLady]

Some will suspect Walter Reed is somehow influenced by the current administration. I agree with you.

 

[TNHarley]

Health is not a qualification for Presidency

 

[pismoe]

I agree with TN Harley , same thoughts for the release of tax reports and all other private info .

 

[OldLady]

For this election, it should be a specialist in gerentology who is highly regarded by other doctors. There should be other specialists (such as a neurologist for Hillary) to be involved with the review of records.
There. We have solved the problem. Now, how do we get them to buy it?

That's kinda dopey, TN. Why would you elect a President who is physically or mentally unable to perform their duties for four years? Yes, it's true shit happens, we can't help that, but within reason the candidate should be as healthy and reasonably expected to survive as you or me.

The Constitution is "dopey"?
You are talking about opening up pandoras box for civilian privacy.
Rather, whats left of it

There is no way to require them under the Constitution.

But certainly I think that it would be a great idea for all Presidential candidates to voluntarily under go health screenings.

Lets amend the COTUS so we can give the government MORE power. Let the people have less!
I LOVE statism!

go ahead , require the near dead to be doctor approved . Concerning the Trump though . Well death or incapacity is the reason why there is a VP plus there is backup if both the Pres and VP both go down . Requiring health reports is just another way for fiddlers to mess around with an election. Who is ever healthy enough ?? All that's needed is to watch the Trump move around to see that he looks well fed and is spry and big and strong .

So much for Doctor patient confidentiality.

Reagan had dementia during his last term as president and no conservative bat an eye.

if you found out Trump's chances of dying of a heart attack within the next two years was 50%, would you still vote for him?

The constitution is a limit of federal government power. Meaning, this is the federal requirement for President. In order to REQUIRE anything else, you will need to amend the Constitution.
That's what I meant.

---------------------------------- and nothing saying that he should have an easily manipulated physical . With 'illary' though , everyone can see that she is diseased just by looking at her Old Lady .

It always comes down the voters- and whether they care.

There never will be a legal requirement for a Presidential candidate to reveal his or her full medical records, or tax records- or any other records.

But certainly candidates can use those issues to their advantage- such as Clinton revealing her tax returns while Trump doesn't reveal his. Trump can do the same thing regarding his medical records to put pressure on Clinton to reveal her medical records.

If the voters don't care- then it doesn't matter. But if one candidate reveals her taxes- and wins the election- while the candidate who didn't reveal his taxes loses- perhaps the voters did care.
