March 14, 2023 - WASHINGTON, DC:  On Monday, Rep. George Santos NY-03 introduced the “Executive Mental Competency Protection Act of 2023.” The bill will require that the sitting President of the United States must undergo an annual cognitive evaluation, no later than January 1.

“Regardless of political affiliation, this should be a common sense and bipartisan agreement that when a man or a woman becomes President, they submit to an annual cognitive evaluation,” said Rep. Santos. “Physical examination results are publicly released throughout their time in office, and a thorough cognitive assessment should also be included, and failure to comply will result in no federal funds being obligated or expended for official travel.

Requirements include an assessment of the following:

• General intellect.
• Reading & Comprehension.
• Attention & Concentration.
• Processing speed.
• Learning & memory.
• Reasoning.
• Executive functions.
• Visuospatial skills.
• Motor speed & dexterity.
• Mood & Personality.
• Memory retention.
