Text SIGN PFNCHI to 50409 — It is time for Congress to act in defense of transparency and national security. The American people have the right to know that their president is physically and mentally capable of leading the nation. In 2025 alone, President Donald Trump has undergone two hospital visits, including an unexplained MRI in October, and has been described by the White House only as being in “exceptional health.” Yet over recent weeks, Americans have witnessed troubling signs: visibly fatigued and sweating through a 60 Minutes interview, slurred and repetitive speech in video statements, and public confusion between South Africa and South America during a major address. He has also been observed falling asleep in multiple public settings and meetings, including during a recent Oval Office policy event—episodes documented by major news outlets and repeatedly noted by attendees. While the White House has denied these reports, the pattern is visible to anyone watching. On November 5, the president released more than thirty online posts in under three hours, some apparently recorded in dim surroundings where he read haltingly from his own remarks, at times threatening foreign nations and calling for the end of the filibuster. These are not partisan observations—they are matters of public record. The contrast between official assurances and what citizens can plainly see has shaken public confidence. When the health of the commander-in-chief is in question, the stakes are not merely political; they are constitutional. I urge Congress to hold public hearings and request sworn testimony from the White House physician, independent medical experts, and relevant Cabinet officials. The objective is not to stigmatize illness, but to ensure that the government of the United States remains stable, transparent, and accountable. The American people deserve to know that our leader is fully capable of performing the duties of the presidency. Silence and secrecy serve no one—not the administration, not the country, and not democracy itself.
