Rep.

Scott DesJarlais has called for an amendment to the Constitution that would require presidential nominees to show proof of "cognitive competence.".

The amendment holds that, "No person shall be eligible to hold the office of President or Vice President unless the person demonstrates cognitive competence.".

Fox News reports that the amendment also gives Congress the authority to determine how to test candidates for president and vice president.

The news comes just days after presidential candidate Nikki Haley called for "mental competency tests" for lawmakers over the age of 75.

Last week, when Haley announced her candidacy, she said it was time for the "permanent politician" to step aside.

.

She reportedly added that while America is not past its prime, "our politicians are past theirs.".

According to Fox News, both statements were widely perceived as a dig at both President Biden and former President Trump.

The news also follows 89-year-old Sen.

Dianne Feinstein announcing her retirement amid recent signs of mental decline.

This should be a completely nonpartisan issue and all Americans deserve leaders that are mentally competent.

How this is not already a requirement codified in law defies logic, Scott DesJarlais, U.S. representative for Tennessee's 4th congressional district, via Fox News.

Trump Vs Newsom | Court hands BIG WIN to Trump | Allows control of National Guard in California

In a landmark ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court upheld Donald Trump's decision to federalize 4,000 National Guard troops to quell immigration-related unrest in Los Angeles—rejecting California Governor Gavin Newsom’s challenge. The court ruled federal intervention was lawful due to obstruction of federal agents. With two Trump appointees and one Biden judge siding unanimously, the decision marks the first such presidential move since 1965. Trump hailed the verdict as a “big win,” blasting Newsom’s leadership and vowing to protect American cities. #TrumpVictory #NationalGuard #LAProtests #ImmigrationUnrest #GavinNewsom #Federalization #TrumpVsNewsom #CourtRuling #NinthCircuit #TrumpNews #FederalLaw #PresidentialPowers #USPolitics #BreakingNews #TruthSocial #LegalShowdown #GuardDeployment #LawAndOrder #TrumpAdministration #JudicialDeference #Trump2025 #CaliforniaCrisis #SupremeCourtNext #TrumpAppointees #BidenJudge #ProtestCrackdown #MilitaryDeployment #ImmigrationProtests #NewsomLoses #FederalAuthority Also Read US Prez Trump Will Decide On Whether To Attack Iran Within 2 Weeks: White House :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-prez-trump-will-decide-on-whether-to-attack-iran-within-2-weeks-white-house-7777787.html?ref=DMDesc I Have A Plan For Everything: Donald Trump Amid Rumours Of US Joining Iran-Israel Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/i-have-a-plan-for-everything-donald-trump-amid-rumours-of-us-joining-iran-israel-conflict-4185685.html?ref=DMDesc Facepalm!

President Trump will attend the opening of a controversial migrant detention center deep in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” for its remote, wildlife-infested location. Built rapidly using Governor DeSantis' emergency powers, the facility can hold up to 5,000 migrants and is located on the grounds of a long-abandoned 1960s jetport. Despite recent political friction, Trump and DeSantis will appear together at the launch. Critics are alarmed over the harsh conditions and secrecy surrounding the project, which has already sparked a wave of protests and national debate. #Trump #DeSantis #AlligatorAlcatraz #MigrantCenter #FloridaPolitics #ImmigrationPolicy #FEMA #Everglades #DetentionCenter #BorderCrisis #SwampFacility #JetportHistory #DadeCollier #MigrantRights #USImmigration #ControversialFacility #PoliticalReunion #FloridaNews #RemotePrison #Protests Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~GR.125~HT.96~

Bernie Sanders RIPS Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ As Billionaire Payoff | 16M Thrown Off Healthcare?

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink. #BernieSanders #TrumpBill #BillionaireBill #MedicaidCuts #AffordableCareAct #HealthcareCrisis #SenateFloor #TaxBreaks #TrumpTaxPlan #BillionaireClass #WorkingClass #RuralHospitals #HealthcareForAll #SandersSpeech #TrumpVsSanders #MedicareCuts #HealthcareJustice #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalCorruption #BigPharma #CampaignFinance #UnfairEconomy #TaxPolicy #GOPBill #CBOReport #PublicHealth #HealthcareInequality #TrumpHealthcarePlan #SandersFightsBack #TrumpDeathBill #HealthJusticeNow Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc

BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL Debate | Democrats FUME as Republicans Push Through Planned Parenthood Cuts

Planned Parenthood is under serious threat as Republicans move closer than ever to cutting its federal Medicaid funding. A surprise Senate ruling has allowed the GOP to include the defunding measure in their sweeping megabill—without needing to overcome a filibuster. Democrats are outraged, warning it’s a direct attack on women’s health and reproductive rights. With $792 million in funding at stake, and abortion access on the line, the battle over Planned Parenthood is reaching a boiling point. #TrumpBill #VoteARama #ElonMusk #USPolitics #BigBeautifulBill #AmericaParty #SenateShowdown #July4Deadline #GOPSplit #CongressLive Also Read Senate Approves $95.3 Billion Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/senate-passes-ukraine-aid-package-gen-3750585.html?ref=DMDesc Joe Manchin Announces Retirement, Opening Up Senate Seat for Republicans :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/joe-manchin-announces-retirement-opening-up-senate-seat-for-republicans-gen-3679879.html?ref=DMDesc Jacob Lew confirmed as ambassador to Israel :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/jacob-lew-confirmed-as-ambassador-to-israel-gen-3672625.html?ref=DMDesc

Republicans vs Democrats War of Words in U.S Senate: Trump’s ‘Beautiful Bill’ Ignites Big Infighting

The U.S. Senate has erupted into a political firestorm as Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion “One Big Beautiful Bill” sparks intense clashes between Republicans and Democrats. What was meant to be a victory lap for Trump ahead of July 4 has turned into a bitter war of words, with GOP lawmakers divided and Democrats pushing back fiercely. Senate Majority Leader John Thune admits there's no clear path forward, while House Speaker Mike Johnson pleads to keep the bill close to the original House version. With Elon Musk threatening to form a new “America Party” if the bill passes, the battle lines are drawn — and America is watching. Will Trump get his way?

In a stunning political twist, Elon Musk has threatened to form a new political party — the America Party — if Donald Trump's $3.3 trillion spending bill passes Congress. Slamming it as “insane” and “debt slavery,” Musk accused Republicans of betraying their fiscal conservative values and warned he would back primary challengers against incumbents who support the bill. With fiery posts on X and direct shots at the GOP, Musk is positioning himself as a disruptive force ahead of the 2025 elections. This video breaks down Musk’s explosive reaction, what’s in Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill," and what a third-party movement led by the world’s richest man could mean for American politics. #ElonMusk #AmericaParty #TrumpBill #GOP #SpendingBill #USPolitics #FiscalResponsibility #DebtCrisis #2025Elections #MuskVsTrump #ThirdParty #Congress #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews #TechVsPolitics ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values [Video]

Karoline Leavitt SLAMS Zohran Mamdani As A Symbol Of “Radical Policy” Destabilizing American Values

In a fiery political escalation, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took direct aim at Zohran Mamdani — the presumptive Democratic frontrunner in the New York City mayoral race — accusing him of embodying “radical” left-wing ideals. Labeling Democrats as “doubling down on craziness,” Leavitt claimed Mamdani's policies threaten the “very fabric of the country.” The attack reflects growing Republican unease with Mamdani’s rising influence, particularly after his viral interview clip showed him eating biryani with his hands while championing Third World-inspired politics. With his open support for Palestine, socialism, and progressive reform, Mamdani has drawn praise and vitriol in equal measure. As Trump’s White House attempts to frame the 2025 elections as a choice between order and chaos, Mamdani is emerging as a lightning rod in the cultural and political battlefield. The clash signals a deeper national confrontation brewing around race, identity, and radicalism. #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayoralRace #KarolineLeavitt #WhiteHouseAttack #RadicalLeft #DemocratsVsGOP #USPolitics #TrumpEra #MamdaniUnderFire #NYCPolitics #PalestineSupport #BiryaniPolitics #IdentityPolitics #PoliticalDrama #ProgressiveAgenda #RepublicanPushback #LeavittVsMamdani #MayoralElection2025 #CultureClash #LeftVsRight ~ED.194~HT.408~

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.” Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers. Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle.
