众议院议员杰米·拉斯金呼吁白宫医生为总统唐纳德·特朗普进行认知能力测试，此前他针对美伊战争的言论愈发激烈。
这位来自马里兰州的民主党议员加入了越来越多民主党议员——以及一些右翼人士——的行列，近期他们都对总统处理冲突的方式和公开表态表示担忧。尤其是民主党人，一直在质疑特朗普的履职能力。
“近日，全美民众见证特朗普总统的公开表态和情绪爆发愈发语无伦次、暴躁易怒、粗俗不堪、精神错乱且充满威胁，”众议院司法委员会最高民主党议员拉斯金在一封被CNN获取的信件中写道。
拉斯金列举了多项引发其担忧的事例，包括特朗普在复活节周日发布的充斥脏话的帖文，呼吁伊朗开放霍尔木兹海峡；他在白宫复活节滚蛋活动上对儿童谈论伊朗战争的言论；以及他发出的“如果伊朗不在最后期限前同意其协议条款，整个文明都将在今晚灭亡”的表态。
尽管这一呼吁不太可能取得多少成果——毕竟特朗普经常吹嘘自己在认知测试中取得满分，且白宫医生在其年度体检中认定他“健康状况极佳”——但这封信发出之际，民主党内部乃至一些知名的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）阵营人士都已更进一步，提议通过第25修正案或弹劾程序罢免特朗普。
若要成功罢免特朗普总统，需其内阁多数成员和副总统启动第25修正案程序。目前尚无迹象表明任何内阁官员正在考虑此事，也没有迹象显示副总统JD·万斯会支持这一行动。拉斯金原定于周五为众议院民主党人主持一场关于第25修正案的情况通报会。
“在我国处于战争状态之际——尤其是这场战争是在未经国会宣战或批准的情况下由总统发动的——美国民众必须能够信任总司令具备履行其核心职责的心理能力，”拉斯金写道。“因此，我请求你对唐纳德·特朗普总统进行全面的认知能力评估，将结果提交国会，并亲自向国会通报你的调查结果。”
CNN已联系白宫征求评论。
拉斯金辩称，共和党人为他提出这一请求开创了先例。
他写道，众议院共和党人曾聚焦于前总统乔·拜登明显的认知能力下降问题，并约谈了拜登的白宫医生。
“两党都已认识到，总统的认知健康状况是一项紧迫且至关重要的公众关切事项，值得国会进行严格监督。监督委员会主席詹姆斯·科默称前总统乔·拜登的心智敏锐度‘是我国历史上最严重的丑闻之一’，他实际上已传唤白宫医生，并发布了一份关于该主题的全面工作人员报告，”拉斯金写道。
他继续说道：“司法委员会主席乔丹曾宣称，认知能力不合格的总统‘不适合担任公职’。我相信，在全国因总统近期的激烈言辞和疯狂威胁陷入骚动之际，两位主席会坚守这一重要原则。”

Raskin calls for Trump to take cognitive test in wake of Iran threats as Democrats question president’s fitness

Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on the White House physician to conduct a cognitive test of President Donald Trump amid his heightened rhetoric about the US war with Iran.
The Maryland Democrat joins a growing chorus of Democratic lawmakers – and some right-wing personalities – who have expressed concern in recent days over the president’s approach to, and public statements on, the conflict. Democrats, in particular, have questioned Trump’s fitness for office.
“In recent days, the country has watched President Trump’s public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening,” Raskin, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, wrote in a letter obtained by CNN.
Raskin pointed to a number of reasons for raising his concern, including Trump’s expletive-ridden Easter Sunday post calling on Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, his comments to children about the Iran war at the White House Easter Egg Roll and his statement that “a whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran did not agree to his terms of a deal under deadline.
While unlikely to yield much of a result – the president, after all, often boasts about acing cognitive tests and the White House physician declared him in “excellent health” at his annual physical – the letter comes as many in the Democratic Party, and even some notable MAGA figures, have gone so far as to suggest Trump should be removed through the 25th Amendment or impeachment.
To successfully remove Trump as president, a majority of his Cabinet and his vice president would have to move to invoke the 25th Amendment. And there are no indications any Cabinet officials are considering it, or that Vice President JD Vance would be on board. Raskin was set to lead a briefing for House Democrats about the 25th Amendment on Friday.
“At a time when our country is at war—especially when the war was initiated by the President without congressional declaration or consent—the American people must be able to trust that the Commander-in-Chief has the mental capacity to discharge the essential duties of his office,” Raskin wrote. “I therefore request that you conduct a comprehensive cognitive assessment of President Donald Trump, provide those results to Congress, and make yourself available to brief Congress on your findings.”
CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.
Raskin argued that Republicans had helped set a precedent for him to make such a request.
House Republicans, he wrote, had focused on former President Joe Biden’s apparent cognitive decline and interviewed Biden’s White House physician.
“Republicans and Democrats alike have recognized that presidential cognitive fitness is a matter of urgent and essential public concern and that it warrants rigorous congressional oversight. Calling former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity ‘one of the greatest scandals in our nation’s history,’ Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer actually subpoenaed the White House physician and issued a comprehensive staff report on the subject,” Raskin wrote.
He continued: “Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan declared that a president who is not cognitively fit ‘isn’t fit for office.’ I trust that both Chairmen will stand by this important principle today with the country in an uproar over the President’s recent fulminations and mad threats.”
