- A very unusual usage of 'occasion' as a noun adjunct, modifying 'genius' in a commonplace pattern used to indicate subject mastery. I would interpret this as meaning a declaration that one is a 'genius' at hosting or planning occasions and/or events, especially formal events.

“Delicious food, excellent service, and the whole family felt like regular George Washingtons dining here. We particularly loved the bread and butter and the peanut soup!!”

“Such friendly staff. Prompt with fulfilling water for a hot summer day of being a tourist. Food was so delicious. Love the home/space and decor. Highly recommend coming here when visiting the area. “

“The founding fathers would be proud. This quaint little slice of history is serving up good times. Their home made butter is to DIE for. You don’t need to worry about corona because there’s no one else there. If you’re looking for an experience that won’t grow as old as their building, this is your place!“

“A better dinner or atmosphere in Alexandria you will not find. The food is all so rich and flavorful but not over the top. George Washington’s Favorite is like a full size thanksgiving dinner and if you think you have the room, Martha’s Puff Pastry is a must as well.“

The STABLE GENIUS Act is a proposed Act of Congress authored by U.S. Rep.Brendan Boyle (D–PA–02) to require presidential candidates to have a medical exam and publicly disclose the results before the general election.[1] The name of the act is a backronym for 'Standardizing Testing and Accountability Before Large Elections Giving Electors Necessary Information for Unobstructed Selection'. It is a reference to a two-part tweet sent by President Donald Trump referring to himself as a 'stable genius'.[2] It was originally proposed on January 9, 2018 to the 115th Congress as HR 4742, and was reintroduced on July 12, 2019 to the 116th Congress as HR 3736.[3]
Background[edit]
Trump's first use of the term was in response to allegations of mental health problems in the recently published book Fire and Fury, which was followed by extensive discussion of the subject on cable news. On January 6, 2018 Trump tweeted 'Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.... I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star... to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!'[2] He has described himself as an 'extremely stable genius' or 'true stable genius' on several subsequent occasions.[4] On one such occasion he also called on multiple members of his staff to testify that he was calm and under control.[5]

Donald Trump's campaign in 2016 was not his first attempt at the presidency; the first attempt was in 1999 with an effort through the Reform Party to win their nomination of the 2000 presidential election. [6]
Legislation[edit]

Boyle introduced the legislation as HR 4742 on January 9, 2018.[7] It was immediately referred to the House Committee on House Administration, with no further action since.[8]
In July 2019, months after the Democrats won majority status in the House of Representatives, Boyle reintroduced the legislation as HR 3736, where it was again referred to the House Committee on House Administration.[3]
Reaction[edit]
On the January 10, 2018 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Boyle said 'Hopefully I have the best words to describe this',[9] referring to the comment Trump made on the campaign trail: 'I'm very highly educated. I know words, I know the best words. But there's no better word than stupid.'[10]
That night, Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon suggested an alternate name for the bill: 'It is called the Too Little, Too Late Act.'[11]
