In the wake of Vladimir Putin's command to destroy Ukrainian military facilities, the present Texas Republican Congressman made the statement on Fox News.

His mental and cognitive impairments have been on show for almost a year now, and most people are certain that something is wrong with him, according to Jackson.

It's clear that "he's not cognitively the same as he used to be and, in my judgment, not suitable to be our president right now," he said.

That a 79-year-old representing America at a time when a message of strength has to be transmitted isn't going to end well, according to the Congressman
With the COVID-19 epidemic and the ongoing struggle between Vice President Biden and Russian President Putin over Ukraine, we find ourselves in a crisis-ridden world. His adversaries and several impartial observers are wondering whether or not Biden is up to the task at hand. Is he in good mental health?

The president's health and competency can't be called into doubt without particular facts, so to say he's incapable of doing so would be a wild guess. These issues have been made about several U.S. presidents, particularly by those who opposed their policies or were in a position of political weakness, throughout our history.

Republicans and Democrats alike questioned Franklin Roosevelt's health during the "Big Three" wartime "Big Three" conferences in Tehran in 1943 and Yalta in 1945, and they also pondered Richard Nixon's mental state as the Watergate scandal engulfed him in 1974. Reagan was 73 at the time, six years younger than Vice President Joe Biden is today, and Democrats questioned Nixon's mental state as the Watergate scandal engulfed him in 1974. It turned out that these fears were well-founded, as seen in retrospect.

In the meanwhile, there are enough difficulties today to raise the brows of some professionals as well. Chuck Todd, NBC's "Meet the Press" host, stated this week that a new survey conducted by the network found that a majority of Americans doubt the president's competency. Those fears are well-founded; some have speculated that Biden's recent forgetfulness and erratic demeanor (such as calling a Fox News reporter "dumb" and another "stupid son of bitch" while speaking into a microphone) may be signs of cognitive decline.

There is a difference between asking reasonable questions and offering honest and thorough replies. A presidential physical should include a simple cognitive or neuro-psychiatric assessment, but this is especially important for presidents over 75 years old because there is so much on the line and it is so critical that any president of the United States be at the top of his or her game in order to guide us through crises.
