No. Many jobs require having physicals done to prove you're fit for duty. Same here. The voting public has a right to know if she's even healthy enough to take on a four year term.
If she can't even stand on a sidewalk without doing a face plant, that's a problem.

Oh, poor Hillary.
I say, if you can't handle the heat, get the hell out of the kitchen. No one made her run for President. If she's that concerned she can drop it and come post on ATS with us. That way she can keep everything private.
We should all be concerned about our medical privacy. That is why there are laws protecting it.
My health is my business. Clinton's health is her business.
Let's judge her on her policy ideas and not what bug she may have caught or the results on a colonoscopy.
If she can't handle the stresses of finishing her own campaign, how can she manage the unimaginable emotional and mental strain of running the United States?

I imagine it has something to do with needing a president who isn't overwhelmed with medical issues that can affect their ability to perform.
Hell, if Hillary wants to rule from an iron lung I guess we should vote her in then.
FDR was in a wheelchair and served this country well. Could he make it to office today, considering our shallowness?

Is there anything in the constitution that states someone cannot serve if they have a medical condition or refuse to make their personal business public?

She's got pneumonia. How do you extrapolate that she cannot finish her campaign?
No, but voters like to be informed and some have standards regarding the health of the POTUS
he campaign was deceptive and her handlers, without a doubt, appeared to be hiding a very serious medical issue rather than attending to it.
She can serve with a serious medical condition that's being covered-up, but people don't have to vote for her if they believe or suspect that.

Because she lied about it. That's not a medical issue, it's an issue of character.
