The Washington Post Editorial Board called for more Oval Oversight of Oval Office on Wednesday to secure the president’s health coverage does not occur again after discoveries in a bomb book claiming that the White House hid the fall of former President Joe Biden from the public.
“Now it seems that for a considerable time, Biden may have a lack of sustainability and cognitive ability to seek work – and that his family and the closest aide hid this from the public,” the editorial board wrote.
“Their apparent decision to establish personal loyalty before their duty to the country must be calculated. A legal mechanism must be considered to ensure that this does not happen again,” the Board proposed.
The former president’s health is once again in the titles behind CNN Jake Tapper’s anchor and Axios Correspondent Alex Thompson, “The New Book: The Fall of President Biden, its coverage and its catastrophic choice to run again”, released on Tuesday.
The book claims that Biden’s inner circle hid its cognitive decline for years and was released just days after the news broke that Biden was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer.
Post -phone accounts from Tapper’s book and Thompson by detailing how Biden has been showing issues with his memory since the 2020 campaign, with a Democrat who was involved in his campaign concluding that he was inappropriate for tasks.
From at least 2022, Biden was forgetting the names of his senior assistants and ever appeared non -time -by -time, according to the book.
Biden’s staff is also reported to fix his schedule when he was sharper because of these issues.
“The country was lucky to have not experienced a late night crisis that he would have had problems dealing with problems. It would be foolish to count on such fate in the future,” the board wrote.
“Can steps be taken to ensure that voters remain aware of the weaknesses of their leaders? This is a question for Congress: how should the government answer when a president seems to be operating with reduced faculties?” the editors asked.
The Post Board proposed that Congress be strengthened to “maintain the president’s cognitive health – and act when needed”.
“Ideally, the Congress would create a sobering, bifolum commission to investigate ways to maintain transparency about the President’s health, mental and physical. Perhaps some objective cognitive tests should be required, in addition to a physical examination, with the results made public every year,” the Board suggested.
The newsroom comes as the questions revolve around the diagnosis of Biden cancer and why the disease was not caught earlier.
On Monday, former medical adviser Biden Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, an oncologist, said the former president is likely to have cancer since the beginning of his presidential term, if not longer.
“He did not develop it in the last 100 to 200 days,” Emanuel told co-president “Morning Joe” Joe Scarborough.
“I don’t think there is any disagreement about it.”
