Coverups come to light eventually. Remember the outrage when it was revealed that President Bartlett had MS? Some presidents like Reagan or FDR get lucky and it doesn't come out until they've left office.
President Bartlett of West Wing? Not a real president, he only played one on TV.
Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. The president should have some privacy as much as I think the rest of us should.
Their privacy is when they want to bang their spouse.
Their medical records would be an important document to make decisions on who is going to represent the entire country. Medical conditions can effect future actions, especially when it is cognitive decline. People lose privacy when they run for office. Just like military members don't have the same rights as civilians. They give up some rights to serve.
