By definition aphasia is caused by brain damage. Don't know why this would be considered philosophical.
When I was rehabbing in a urrsing home I hit my head on a table edge when I stood up from picking something up.
After a few eeeks I had trouble speaking. I could think the words but nothing came out.
A brain scan showed accumulation of fluids compressing the speech center, subdural haematoma.
I have two depressions in my skull drilled to drain the fluids. I had a complete recovery.
When I was in a nursing home and assisted living I knew stroke victims. It took a while to realize that inside most were fully aware and lucid. I played chess with a stoke victim and I had to move the pieces for him. He had trouble speaking and using his hands.
Whether aphasia may be psychological or organic, and whether or not the victim has a cognitive issue is a medical diagnosis.
Whether he is fit to serve in congress is up to the voters, and in th extreme case up to the congress to expel him.
