I am in the Army and I am subject to random drug testing. I am just wondering if the President of the United States and memebers of Congress are equally subject to it.

Take a look at Patrick Kennedy, or his Uncle, Fat Teddy for that matter, and then ask if they are subject to drug testing. I think not or those two would have been kicked out long, long ago.

While most federal employees are subject to random drug screening, elected officials are immune from this. Drug testing is designed to detect criminal behaviour and the president, vice president, the cabinet and congress are immune from prosecution and therefore immune from involuntary drug testing.

A President of the United States can hold a big plastic bag of crack cocaine in front of network TV cameras during a national broadcast and nobody will arrest him for possession, even though he's using the illegal drugs as a political stage prop and not for any legitimate law enforcement purpose. Now that's corruption!

No, the President isn't. He's your Commander In Chief...! As for the senate, the house members, that would be a no too. If that were the case Teddy Kennedy would of been impeached long ago for showing up to work drunk. However, if they do start drug testing, they should start with Hussein Obama.

All guidelines concerning elements and their abuse (with the achieveable exception of those huge-spread to always effect in violence) must be restored to the state factor, because the structure and bill of Rights insists. So, if the folk of Cali favor it, it truly is their deal. undergo in concepts that on the time of the Constitutional convention, no definition of "welfare" blanketed a centrist authorities showering money like Santa onto people able to duping this style of equipment. because of this our change procedure is so demanding and why the powers vested in the ideally suited courtroom do no longer comprise that of "judicial evaluation". ...

NO....None of them are subjected to drug testing. They think that they are above that and that is would be humiliating to have to take one.
I think that EVERY federal employee should have to take them. They are the ones that produce these BS laws. They should have to take them too!

Not sure about drugs but I do know Congress should order Bush to have a mental exam, on the record. He has a problem and he is hiding that problem from Congress and all Americans.

The President of the US gets tested monthly, It is a way to project his health and determine if someone is poisoning him.

When you took the oath of enlistment, the fact that you were going to be subjected to random drug test was known. Live with it.
FYI: Sharing your objections with your contemporaries will most likely increase you odds of getting randomed. Trust me. Decent and you will be tested, and booted out.

I am sure Pres Bush gets to test a lot of drugs that is where his inspirations come from.
Iraq idea was feeling a bit of a bummer plan when he started coming down.
