Is it required that the President get a check-Up at Walter Reed each year?

[Laf.La.Dem.]

Will Trump get his Annual Physical Check-Up at Walter Reed OR will he use his own "Doctor"?

1. I think POTUS goes to Bethesda.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

5. I think Walter Reed is in Bethesda.

Sorry if I am wrong - but I think they are the same

8. Bethesda Naval Hosp and Walter Reed have merged

It's now called Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and is located at the old Naval
hospital at Bethesda.

9. Thank you.

I learned something new today

[Laf.La.Dem.]

10. Thank you -

2. I think BLOTUS

Won't release any info.
We all see he's a fat bloated piece of shit.
One taco bowl from a major coronary.

17. Hopefully!

3. Good question

I doubt it ever was brought up because 44 presidents were somewhat normal (different ranges obviously). 45 is a different story all together. I doubt a law was passed requiring the president has to use Walter reed because no other president questioned the use and most probably thought it was an honor.

4. It is doubtful that trump* believes he is 'required' to do anything

If only that applied to breathing.

[MFM008]

19. yes

he now thinks he is God- King and Emperor of the world.
That's why I enjoy seeing him stopped where they can.
My vote for Bob Ferguson was well spent.

6. No, it's not required. Nothing is required of the President

that isn't in the Constitution. Those physicals are not required, and cannot be. They're like releasing tax forms. A tradition, but not a requirement.

7. Trump won't do any such thing if it becomes part of public record

certainly not like this one:

12. Trump's doctor's report -

“astonishingly excellent”

[dalton99a]

15. Of course, the healthiest individual ever elected

[smirkymonkey]

18. Gaahh!

Effing scary looking! God, what a hideous tub of lard.

I normally do not judge people on their looks, but there is something about this family. Their inner ugliness shows up externally. They are physically repulsive to me because they are so morally and spiritually bankrupt. It shows on their faces.

20. Spill over on his gut

looks like the pictures of the Orville Dam in California.
My dad had that gut and he died 17 years ago at 69.

11. Presidents have a personal physician, "Physician to the President"

Currently, it is RADM Ronny Jackson, MD, USN. He has been in this position since July, 2013. He is the director of the White House Medical Unit which serves the basic medical needs of the President, Vice President and various staff and visitors.

I think Walter Reed is only used for major medical procedures.

13. 'he's the healthiest president ever presidentin'

[Laf.La.Dem.]

16. Case Closed!!

Why question this "doctor"!

14. No need - Dr. Oz vouches for him.
