Dem House Rep. Brendan Boyle Intros “Stable Genius Act” Requiring Medical Exams Of Presidential Candidates

The Philly Voice reports:

Philadelphia congressman is pushing a piece of legislation with a painstakingly crafted title that challenges President Donald Trump’s mental fitness for office.

U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Democrat who represents parts of Northeast Philadelphia and Montgomery County, announced Tuesday the introduction of the “Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection Act,” otherwise known as the “STABLE GENIUS Act.”

Under the legislation, presidential candidates would have to undergo a medical examination that would be publicly disclosed before the election. Nominees with political parties would have to undergo the examination by the Secretary of the Navy and file the results with the Federal Election Commission.

RELATED: Boyle’s sole previous appearance on JMG came in 2014 when as a Pennsylvania state rep he backed a pending LGBT-inclusive hate crimes bill. Pennsylvania remains among the states without hate crimes laws that include sexual orientation and/or gender identity.
