Jamie Raskin Demands Cognitive Assessment of President Trump

Rep. Jamie Raskin formally asked the White House physician to conduct an immediate, comprehensive cognitive and neurological evaluation of President Donald Trump. He made the demand after episodes of heightened rhetoric and a recent Trump health scare, tying the request to national security concerns. Raskin framed the evaluation as part of constitutional oversight, explicitly invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment as legal pathways if the president is unfit. The push matters because a sitting president's cognitive impairment would affect critical decisions and could prompt constitutional removal procedures.
