I think it all goes back to how do we know when a brain is in mental decline? All politicians should have certain tests and courses to prove their abilities. If you want to run for a position, civic courses should be mandatory! If you are responsible for an entire Country and possibly pushing a button, cognitive/behavioral tests should be applied.

The government should give a specific amount of money for a campaign and no corporate funding.

Just my thoughts as a Neuropsychologist, that specializing in Language Disorders (and a very concerned citizen).
Biden didn't have "an inability to express himself" only "in those challenging moments."
