One of the most prominent Democrats in Congress has written to the White House doctor demanding Donald Trump take a cognitive test.
Representative Jamie Raskin wrote to Sean Barbabella expressing his concern at the president's condition.
"Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline," he wrote.

"And, in recent days, the country has watched President Trump's public statements and outbursts turn increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.
"His apparently deteriorating condition has caused tremendous alarm across the nation (and political spectrum) about the President's cognitive function and continuing mental fitness for the office and President."
Raskin requested a comprehensive cognitive test, with the results to be shared with Congress.
He cited Trump's bizarre and profane social media post on Easter Sunday in which he threatened to destroy Iranian civilian infrastructure, dropped the F-word and praised Allah.
""Open the F—in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell — JUST WATCH!" he wrote.
"Praise be to Allah."

Raskin also mentioned the apparent difficulty Trump had in descending the White House steps that day.
He drew attention to how top Republican congressman James Comer subpoenaed the White House physician during the last administration for information on the cognitive capacity of Joe Biden.
Biden, like Trump, faced numerous questions about his mental faculty in office. Trump is now the same age Biden was at this point of his presidency.
A White House spokesperson issued a statement to Courthouse News criticising Raskin.
"Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person's idea of a smart person," the spokesperson said.
"President Trump's sharpness, unmatched energy, and historic accessibility stand in stark contrast to what we saw during the past four years when Democrats like Raskin intentionally covered up Joe Biden's serious mental and physical decline from the American people."
Raskin's demand comes as several prominent conservative commentators have called for the cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment.

The 25th Amendment would require the vice president and a majority of the cabinet to determine the president is not able to do his job.
Congress would then have 48 hours to vote in support. It would take a two-thirds vote in both chambers to remove Trump.
InfoWars commentator Alex Jones said Trump was no longer fit to hold office.
"How do we 25th Amendment his ass?" Jones said.
"Trump literally sounds like an unhinged super villain from a Marvel comic movie."
Trump has taken several cognitive tests in the past year, and has frequently bragged of the results.
Those tests are normally conducted in order to determine if a person has dementia.
Raskin is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and rose to public prominence during Trump's second impeachment trial as well as the investigation into the January 6 insurrection.
