Three congressional Democrats approached a Yale psychologist to discuss the logistics of forming an expert panel tasked with assessing President Donald Trump’s mental health, with the ultimate aim of determining whether he is fit to serve in office, STAT reports.
Dr. Bandy Lee of the Yale School of Medicine told STAT he had been approached by the left-wing lawmakers in recent weeks, but he would not reveal their names at the Congress members’ request.

Twenty-seven Democratic representatives have already introduced a bill to establish the “Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity,” which, if established, would meet the 25th Amendment definition of a body with the authority to declare the president unfit to discharge his duties. The bill was referred to the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice in May, and no further action has been taken at this point.
Still, it should be emphasized that all confirmed medical information about Trump, 71, has shown that he is in good health, and there is no indication that any of these panels or committees would gain any traction in legitimately challenging the president’s mental faculties.
The American Psychological Association has also discouraged mental health professionals from publicly making statements about Trump’s mental health, based on the Goldwater rule, which was implemented in 1964.

I can guarantee you if that bill ever passed, and that committee was formed, no Republican Elected would last long as President
