Regarding “Reformers—be ready when your time comes” (Oct. 16): Another part of the so-called We The People Democracy Reform Act of 2017 ought to be a requirement that any prospective presidential candidate be examined by a panel of board-certified psychiatrists.
Given the irrational and impulsive behavior of the current occupant of the White House, don’t prospective voters deserve to know if the next commander-in-chief possesses even a modicum of temperament and emotional maturity to lead our country? Hopefully, we won’t need to speak of invoking the 25th Amendment in the future because a president is perceived as being mentally ill.

Note from KBJ: Does anyone besides me see the irony? The letter writer displays clear signs of derangement as a result of political differences (political!), but it's President Donald Trump who's "irrational," "impulsive," and possibly mentally ill. I'm sorry, but this is rich.
