Chaffetz: Mental Health Exam For President?

Click here for an article at PoliticalConundrum Forum [no, I've never heard of them either, but I've verified the article's content with various other sources], entitled "WOW! JASON CHAFFETZ 'MULLING' LEGISLATION TO REQUIRE PRESIDENTS TO UNDERGO MENTAL HEALTH EXAMS."

In a meeting last week with The Post editorial board, Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chair of the House Oversight Committee, said he was weighing legislation to require presidents to undergo an independent medical examination, including for mental health. Chaffetz cautioned that he wasn’t “talking about some of the rhetoric that’s flying around” about Trump. Still, he 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.”
He's not suggesting Trump should undergo a mental health exam; he's suggesting that presidents or presidential nominees should be tested in the future.
