In regards to the letter “Biden and Kennedy are the best Democrats have?” (June 7, TribLIVE): Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has a rare condition called spasmodic dysphonia that affects his voice. Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dystonia, is a lifelong neurologic disorder that causes the muscles that generate a person’s voice to go into periods of spasm. Kennedy’s grandmother also had this condition. I don’t think a shaky voice, especially if not the person’s fault, is a disqualifier for the presidency.
