Congressman To File Bill Requiring A Psychiatrist At The White House

A handful of other lawmakers besides Lieu have hinted that Trump should get a mental health evaluation. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told The Washington Post in January that he was considering introducing legislation to require presidents to undergo an independent medical exam, including for mental health. He emphasized he wasn’t suggesting Trump was unwell, but said, “If you’re going to have your hands on the nuclear codes, you should probably know what kind of mental state you’re in.”
