Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! On today's show, we discuss what—if anything—Congress can or should do about a president's fitness to serve.
As America's political leaders continue to age, questions around mental acuity, physical stamina, and fitness for office have become harder to ignore. We are joined by two members of academia to dive into the complex and often uncomfortable topic of aging Presidents—from Reagan to Biden—and how age-related decline can affect leadership at the highest level.
What mechanisms exist to evaluate a sitting President's capacity to serve? Is the 25th Amendment a practical safeguard, or a political nonstarter? And what, if anything, can or should Congress do to ensure the executive branch remains sharp, stable, and accountable?
Join us for a candid conversation on power, health, and the constitutional gray zones at the intersection of age and authority.
