In any case, in federal court the burden is on the defense to prove insanity by clear and convincing evidence.  In Georgia the burden is also on the defense to prove insanity by a preponderance of evidence, which is a lower standard, but still the defense has to assert it and show the evidence.

Is a man who is running for office going to assert that he was insane while in office previously?

LOL.  I ask if he displays any symptoms of paranoia, and you jump to mentally ill and an insanity defense?  What are you envisioning, a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest scenario and putting him in a white jacket that ties in the back?
