Presidents need mental health evaluation

As I think about the amount of time and money we are spending on congressional hearings, investigations, judiciary committee hearings etc., which seem to end up in a pile of accusations, interpretations and rhetoric, I am truly puzzled by the focus in them.

I have repeatedly read from qualified mental health experts that President Donald Trump's behaviors and speech reflect clear signs of serious mental conditions which are potentially dangerous to our country and the world. We have seen on camera his temper tantrums, fact checked his made-up lies and listened to him badger and bully anyone who does not agree with him. His own staff has remarked that he is nearly impossible to deal with and that he refuses to listen to his advisers. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, it seems to me that a thorough mental health evaluation should be mandatory for a sitting president and that mental impairment should be reason enough for impeachment. I would like to know why this hasn't or can't be done. Do we really want someone in such a powerful position whose actions are a result of a psychological condition?
