No Juicing Joe Act Proposed to Monitor Presidential Drug Use

Amid growing concerns about President Biden's mental acuity, a Tennessee Republican has introduced legislation that would require the White House to notify Congress when the president takes drugs that could alter his alertness, judgment, or mood.

President Biden's recent public appearances have sparked growing concerns about his mental and physical decline, prompting a Tennessee Republican to propose legislation that would require the White House to notify Congress when the president takes drugs that could alter his alertness, judgment, or mood.

Representative Andy Ogles introduced the "No Juicing Joe Act" on Thursday, citing concerns that the president's "incalculable damage" to the nation is mirrored by his embarrassing outbursts of anger and incomprehensible speeches.

"Frequently slurred speech, abnormally long pauses, and the inability to string together five words in a coherent sentence have put Biden's mental and physical decline on full display," Ogles said. "It is unfair to the American people for the White House to be occupied by someone who is literally incapable of speaking."

Ogles's bill was prompted by the White House's refusal to test President Biden's cognitive abilities, which he believes would result in a "miserable" failure. Biden is scheduled to debate former President Trump later this month, raising further concerns about his ability to perform effectively.

Presidents past have faced health issues that involved treatments with drugs affecting their behavior, such as President John F. Kennedy's treatment by Dr. Max Jacobson and Woodrow Wilson's post-stroke incapacitation.

The White House has dismissed concerns about President Biden's mental acuity, attributing criticism to partisan politics. However, a recent Wall Street Journal report interviewed 45 lawmakers and administration officials, many of whom raised concerns about Biden's performance in private meetings.

Biden's age, at 81, makes him the oldest person to hold the presidency, and his skeptics argue that he is showing signs of decline. Concerns about his mental and physical health have circulated since his presidency began, with many Republicans and even some Democrats expressing doubts about his ability to do the job effectively.

The No Juicing Joe Act highlights the growing concern about the president's well-being and the potential implications for his ability to fulfill his duties. The bill proposes a measure of accountability to ensure that the public is informed about any drug use that could affect the president's cognitive abilities.
