Poll Results

YES: 78% | NO: 22%

In one of our most discussed polls to date, we asked:

“Was hiding Biden’s mental health issues a crime?”

As questions mount over President Biden’s cognitive condition and the timeline of who knew what — and when — the debate has shifted from political ethics to possible legal implications. Was this a matter of poor judgment and secrecy, or could it rise to the level of criminal concealment?

Here’s how respondents answered:

• Yes – Hiding It Was a Crime: 78%
• No – Hiding Is Not a Crime: 22%

Why This Question Matters

The President of the United States holds ultimate decision-making authority over military operations, international diplomacy, and federal enforcement. If his ability to carry out those duties was knowingly impaired — and that fact was concealed from the public, Congress, or key officials — it raises serious constitutional and legal questions.

This issue is not only about Biden’s health. It’s about transparency at the highest levels of power, and whether the American people and their elected representatives were misled in a way that may have violated the law.

Arguments from Those Who Said “Yes – Hiding It Was a Crime”

• Deception of the Public and Congress:
  Supporters of this view believe that if White House staff or Cabinet officials knowingly misrepresented the President’s fitness to hold office, it could constitute fraud or a breach of official duty.
• Potential National Security Risks:
  If critical decisions — such as authorizing the use of force or signing executive actions — were made without the President’s full capacity, some argue this could amount to negligence or willful misconduct.
• Obstruction or Dereliction of Duty:
  Some legal scholars have suggested that knowingly concealing incapacitation — especially if it affected governance — could be seen as obstruction, conspiracy, or failure to notify relevant authorities under the 25th Amendment.
• Book & Media Confirmations:
  Insider accounts, like Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, suggest that aides knowingly misled not only the public, but members of Biden’s own Cabinet. If true, this raises the stakes beyond mere politics.
• No One Is Above the Law:
  Respondents feel strongly that even the highest offices must be held to account — and that concealing critical information from the electorate violates the democratic contract.

Arguments from Those Who Said “No – Hiding Is Not a Crime”

• Not All Deception Is Illegal:
  Critics of criminalizing the issue argue that while poor judgment or political spin may have occurred, it doesn’t necessarily break any laws.
• Medical Privacy and Discretion:
  The President has the right to some degree of privacy, and staff may have believed they were acting in his best interest by managing public appearances or limiting exposure.
• Intent Matters:
  For something to be a crime, it must involve intent to defraud or harm. Some argue there’s no clear evidence that staff or advisors intentionally broke the law.
• Uncharted Legal Territory:
  No modern legal precedent directly defines the act of hiding a president’s medical state as criminal. Without specific statutes, prosecution would be difficult.
• Focus Should Be on Reform, Not Retaliation:
  Some believe the real solution is to establish clearer rules for medical disclosure — rather than launch criminal investigations into what may amount to political mismanagement.

Conclusion

According to this poll, a significant majority of respondents believe that hiding President Biden’s mental health issues may have crossed a legal line — not just a political one.

Whether future legal action follows or not, this issue highlights a deep concern among voters: that honesty and transparency in leadership are not optional — they’re essential.
