Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), a physician, told Axios that he favors cognition tests for aging leaders of all three branches of government.
Noting he wasn’t talking about specific people, Cassidy said: “It’s usually noticeable. So anybody in a position of responsibility who may potentially be on that slope, that is of concern. And I’m saying this as a doctor.”
He added: “I’m told that there have been senators in the past who, at the end of their Senate terms were senile. I’m told that was true of senators of both parties.”
