What should be done if the President is mentally ill?

When I read your source identifiers It was easy to see that you lean toward the liberal side of the table. As a former mental health social worker All that I have observed of the "odd" behaviors of our President are nothing more than eccentricities, not signs of mental illness. I admit that he does seem to have a few more than the average person but that does not make him "Mentally Ill". Even if he did have symptoms of mental illness, there are a myriad of effective medications that control or alleviate those symptoms without diminishing capacity.
I believe that the relentless attacks by the liberals and the main stream media place extreme stress on the President coupled with the constant leaking of classified information by unauthorized staff.
I believe that the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and prosecute the offenders and the media personnel who accept and publish these leaks. Why the media? The reporters and editors know that the "Unidentified source" has committed a felony and that they have possession of classified materials and still choose to publish it therefore have also committed a felony and must be prosecuted. This being done, the President could then function as a president should.

The Average person in the Millitary is not qualified to assess IF POTUS is Mentally ill! with the bulk of the media bashing President Trump in an Unpresidented way there is Huge Bias on this. Now if you are pro-POTUS then you dismiss the Regeritated rederick. IF you are ANTI-POTUS then you eat it up. the fact is POTUS today is a diff. style of POTUS he is not a Lawyer (1) and (2) he speaks plainly with fa less double talk than Americans across the board are use to this make many nervous in and of it self (3) he is and has been doing exactly what he said he would do in his run up to the White House. unlike Professioanl Politicans who promise the world to get the votes they need and then say ... well Mr. & Mrs. America you would not understand this issue or that issue due to how complex it is. at the end of the Day POTUS is the Commander N Chief and his orders need to be followed.

First, and foremost, they're all mentally unstable. It takes a special breed to be a politician. (Crazy) My friends, don't be fooled into what you are discerning. This presidencey is a political farce. These politicians are trying to fool you into believing that only politicians should be at the helm. Making it out to say that civilians like us don't belong leading this fine country. Or, leave it to the experts. You billionaires are just out of control. Folks, don't fall for it! This president promised to change the way things were. "Drain the swamp". You heard him. You know as well as I do, that these politicians aren't experts at anything. They don't know how to balance a budget. They aren't very good at managing your money, and they lie. I live here in California, and we have dams that are getting ready to break, because of terrible government management. How can that be, we have the 6th largest economy on the planet. What I would like to see is a billionaire governer in charge of CA. Can I get an Amen!

So to Socialist rags are determining the mental health of President Trump now! To even suggest that he's mentally ill from the New York Times is a joke they spend more time inventing stories than reporting facts and the truth! The New York Times makes the National Enquire look good!

"If" and when anyone in a position of leadership (most especially a President) is consistently speaking or acting in a manner in which mental competency is clearly called into question, that person should be, for the sake of all, removed from the position. Just exactly "what" determines lack of mental competency should be the only question here.

Though I did not vote for our 45th President, and have long been an independent I recognize that we are one nation with one leader. That being said, our current President's words and actions are erratic, however that in and of itself does not meet the standard of lacking mental competency. The issues that come closest to crossing such a competency line with me include; allowing non Americans similar or greater access to the halls of power, and spending so much time jousting on Twitter rather than attending to the work of running this country.

Whomever is our President, I want them to succeed--we all need them to succeed in order that this great nation remains safe, prosperous and an international leader in all that is right and good in the world.

There isn't anything wrong mentally with the POTUS , I'm more worried about the mental stability out of those on the left than those on the right . Just because left doesn't like their last feckless leaders EO's and what they would call accomplishments being removed they cry POTUS is insane which us on the right thought for the last 8 years of Obama . Elections have consequences and We The People didn't like the last 8 yrs and did something about it .

Wow. Just...wow. I'm always amazed at the blatant insubordination and disrespect that our culture has encouraged at the office of the POTUS. I know the media never tolerated it with Obama, but they couldn't throw enough insults at W and Trump.

LT...there were a lot of people (in and out of the military) that thought our last commander wasn't fit...some made it known and some didn't...and some of them were court marshaled for their statements. But for the most part, the tone was professional and civil. What I have seen since November is anything but professional and civil. I am 100% certain that if the same things were being said about either OUR last commander or Hillary, the dissenters would be labeled "FILL IN THE BLANK-haters".

It sounds like maybe it's time to resign that commission that was given to you for being a medical professional. I say given because I will assume you didn't serve one day as an enlisted Soldier, go to OCS or even basic training (correct me if I am wrong). If you are that resolute in showing willful contempt for your CIC, you might want to change careers.

If Trump is so unstable why is he such a successful business man, husband, father, as we as winning election that was rigged against him? All that mental illness crap was nothing more than a ploy by those that lost.

Sounds like someone misses the days where we were made to feel sorry for our successes. Like we are reprehensible for our ability to think and speak freely. To compete on a global scale with a chance of not only winning, but dominating.
The current POTUS was tired of all that. The idea that because he is irreverent, unafraid to speak an unpopular opinion and, most importantly, holds the well-being of his country above all else.
I think you have been listening to one side of the story for FAR too long. After Carter, people didn't like Reagan either. He got two terms and went down as turning the country around after his predecessor made life difficult for us as a country.
You may not like him or his policies, but I firmly believe we're a whole lot better off with Trump than HRC.

There is a document called the Constitution, it outlines what must me done if the president is to be replaced. We uphold and defend that document. There is also a law that covers Presidential incapacitation. We follow that. Unless you are a trained doctor engaged in personal treatment of the individual, you don't get a voice.

Not online surveys, not opinion polls, not the opinion of FOREIGN newspapers or even US networks.

The fact that he isn't 'like other presidents' is exactly why the "F" he got elected.
