Pres. Biden Could End Speculation By Taking A Competency Exam
This is not unprecedented. For example, pilots undergo cognitive/physical competency tests as they age to insure the safety of the lives entrusted to them. This should be required for all Presidents.
There’s no other practical solution to Pres. Biden’s current dilemma.
He admits he performed poorly at the presidential debate, leading observers to question his mental competency. It matters not that he says he had a cold. He can say anything. The one surefire way to resolve suspicion in a credible manner is for Pres. Biden to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation, which measures intellectual functioning, attention, learning and memory, reasoning and problem-solving, etc.
