"I think it's legitimate to ask the question of whether or not the President of the United States has a condition that affects his fitness for office," Pelosi said.

The Speaker's comments were met with immediate backlash from the White House, which accused her of playing into Republican efforts to undermine Biden's presidency.

The President is the oldest person to ever serve as Commander-in-Chief, and he has faced questions about his mental acuity on a number of occasions.

In March, Biden underwent a cognitive test as part of his annual physical examination.

The results of the test were not released to the public, but the White House said that Biden had performed well.

However, questions about Biden's mental fitness continue to swirl.

In recent months, he has made a number of verbal gaffes and has appeared confused on several occasions.

These incidents have raised concerns about whether Biden is up to the demands of the presidency.

Pelosi's comments are likely to fuel further speculation about Biden's fitness for office.

It remains to be seen whether her concerns will be echoed by other Democratic leaders.

If they are, it could put pressure on Biden to address the issue publicly.

Biden has been under increasing pressure to step down from office.

In recent months, a number of high-profile Democrats have called for him to resign, citing his age and declining mental acuity.

Calls for Biden's resignation have been particularly vocal from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Prominent progressives, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), have both called for Biden to step down.

It remains to be seen whether Biden will ultimately resign.

However, Pelosi's comments are a sign of growing concern within the Democratic Party about his fitness for office.

If those concerns continue to grow, it could force Biden to make a difficult decision about his future as President.
