Now the question is what is a cognitive test. Let us tell you that through cognitive test it is known how well a person’s brain is working. However, it does not detect any specific disease. In the cognitive test, the doctor asks some questions to the patient. During this, the test has to find out how the patient’s brain has the ability to process and remember new information. In this test, the doctor can tell a story and ask any question from it. Many big doctors of America believe that Biden’s behavior during the debate was like stopping while speaking, expressionless face and unclear sentences. For this reason he should take a cognitive test.

Now the question is what will Biden do if he fails the test? Let us tell you that so far Biden has refused to take the test. There is no direct mention of the mental health of the President in the US Constitution. However, the 25th Amendment of the Constitution states that if the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President can be made the acting President.
