Growing Concerns of Biden’s Cognitive Health

Joe Biden entered office at 78 years old. As the oldest President in the history of his country, President Biden’s mental fitness has been continually questioned. His supporters dismiss a majority of the gaffes he makes, citing his “stutter” he had at a young age. But these gaffes are more than a stutter, and raise concerns about cognitive decline.

Below is a collection of the most concerning moments in President Biden’s various public addresses. These include Biden losing his train of thought, slurring his words, and getting extremely confused. This is not to draw a conclusion about his health (that would take a medical professional who can physically assess Biden). This collection is to call to question the age requirements of the president, and how an age maximum on the office may be the best course of action for the future of this country.
