(AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik, File)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 9:07 AM PT \u2013 Thursday, February 10, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>Dozens of Republicans are calling on the White House to give Joe Biden a cognitive test. On Tuesday, 38 Republicans sent a letter to Biden to follow in 45th President Donald Trump\u2019s footsteps and take a neurophysiological test. The letter said they believe regardless of age, gender or political party, all presidents should take a test to document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Former White House chief medical advisor, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) said Biden is not in his right mind to sit in the Oval Office. He insisted the test would reassure Americans their Commander-in-Chief is fit for making important decisions, especially when the country is at a tumultuous time.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI was there for 14 years as a White House physician, I know exactly what it takes mentally and physically to do that job,\u201d Jackson stated. \u201cAnd I think that it\u2019s on full display for everybody in the country and everybody in this world to see right now that President Biden does not have the cognitive ability to do his job right now.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Texas lawmaker said Trump taking the test during his time in office set the precedent for its necessity. He also recalled how the liberal media demanded the 45th president to take a cognitive test as part of his evaluation. Jackson continued, noting the nation can only assume the worst if Biden doesn\u2019t submit to the same standards his own party demanded of the previous administration.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is an important job, you know, this country is in crisis right now internationally, domestically,\u201d said the Republican. \u201cWe have this issue going on with Russia, we have China coming up, we have Iran, we have North Korea. We have all these issues. We\u2019ve lost complete respect from our allies and we\u2019ve emboldened our adversaries.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, the letter claimed his recent physical exam failed to shed light on Biden\u2019s mental state. It cited examples of the 79-year-old\u2019s poor mental state, including frequently forgetting numbers and names of states on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<p><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A recent poll found 50 percent of registered voters agreed Biden is not in good health as the oldest person to serve as president. In conclusion, the letter read in part the American people should have absolute confidence in their president and deserve full transparency on the mental capabilities of their leader.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/ariz-continues-to-be-a-leader-in-election-security\/\">Ariz.
