I'm sure the US military has a whole bunch of them for various things. None of which are set by the Constitution. Who can run and the requirements do so are set by the Constitution for all federal elected positions, including the presidency, house and senate. I do not believe those can be made subject to new requirements without changing the Constitution. | ||

Well, that's slightly troubling to be sure. I guess we'll see how things go from here. | ||

edit: I wrote this before I saw the pneumonia part. Let's see how that gets blown out of proportion though. I'm waiting for the "pneumonia is a cover up for serious cognitive disabilities and all of the cancers in the world." And the "A candidate who is so weak they can catch pneumonia is not fit to be president. | ||

But also incredibly stupid and reckless to be out on the campaign trail with pneumonia. It's something most people recover from with no complications, but it is still a pretty serious infection. Anyway, she will be coughing for weeks of she has pneumonia, so that won't do well at the debates... | ||

I know we have a system for psych exams and monitoring for nuclear bombers pilots and other nuclear handlers. As well as a bunch of more general standards for fit for duty on physical health. here's some links to the FAA standards for pilots https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/standards/ if you wanna read the more thorough guide rather than a synopsis: http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/avs/offices/aam/ame/guide/media/guide.pdf I'm sure some stuff like that could be adapted. PS just saw the pneumonia thing; aha, my thoughts were correct, the problem is her refusing to take proper rest when she's sick. She really did strike me as the type of person to insist on going in to work even when ill and when they should be resting. Though I'd like to see more than a tweet about this. I'd rather something a bit more vetted and formal. PPS nm, just saw the info on cnn. | ||

Getting pneumonia isn't troubling. It's something most people recover from just fine with antibiotics and enough rest. The only troubling thing is that she was campaigning with a fairly serious (acute) illness, instead of resting and recovering. | ||

It's just another one of the long list of non existant things that republicans will turn into an "issue" until the general public can't give any more fucks about it. Would be nice if the same people crying about her health would cry about trump's fake letter on his health, or tax returns, or his psychological health. I'm sure if the media went after those half as hard as the republicans went after Hilary on non issues everyone would assume trump was a corrupt trust fund baby who broke out of a mental hospital. edit: I wrote this before I saw the pneumonia part.

The more interesting question is whether the pneumonia is secondary to anything. I'm not sure that I buy the allergy story. | ||

Like the 9/11 memorial is something she 'had' to show up at but if she has pneumonia I would expect her to not do anything where possible. She would want to recover as fast as possible so she is fit for the final stretch. Not keep going now and suffer for it the entire time | ||
