                        A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Tennessee (Mr. Rose) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve to know whether or 
not the President of the United States is fully capable of performing 
his duties. After his cringeworthy debate performance, numerous public 
appearances, and even small, private gatherings, many have concluded 
that he is not.
  However, the President's doctor stated in a routine physical 
assessment almost 5 months ago in February that President Biden `` . . 
. fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or 
accommodations.''
  Mr. Speaker, how can someone who needs pictures of what a podium and 
a stage are fully execute all of his responsibilities without any 
exemptions or accommodations?
  That is the question House Republicans are asking by calling on the 
President's doctor to participate in a transcribed interview before the 
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Additionally, House 
Republicans are determined to receive the audiotapes from the 
President's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
  Yes, this is the same interview where Special Counsel Hur decided not 
to charge the President for his mishandling of classified documents 
because they were worried the President would `` . . . present himself 
to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, 
well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.''
  Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker. Our country is in serious danger. Our 
enemies are watching the President let in millions of illegal 
immigrants at our southern border. They are watching as he fumbles his 
way through interviews where the questions are written by his staff 
beforehand.
  This is a constitutional crisis. Each administration official, 
campaign staffer, congressional Democrat, or members of the press who 
have shielded the

President's condition from the American public are complicit in a 
coverup that is causing our country great pain.
  Enough is enough. Mr. Speaker, it is time to restore accountability 
and respectability to this White House and the American people. It is 
the least the Tennesseans I serve back home deserve: A President of the 
United States capable of doing the job.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from 
engaging in personalities toward the President.
