This book focuses on the Twenty-Fifth Amendment - its meaning,
legislative history, and applications. The Amendment has been
criticized for being vague and undemocratic. It has been praised
for making possible swift and orderly successions to the presidency
and vice presidency upon the occurrence of some of the most
extraordinary events in American history. Its vice presidential
selection feature has been recommended as the best method for
selecting all Vice Presidents. The repeal of that feature and the
abolition of the vice presidency have also been suggested.
Moreover, throughout the Watergate crisis the Amendment was alluded
to as affording a means by which a President could transfer
Presidential power during an impeachment proceeding, and it was
suggested as authorizing a Vice President and Cabinet to suspend,
so to speak, a President during the period of impeachment trial
before the Senate. Judging by all the attention the Amendment has
received and by the number of presidential and vice presidential
vacancies and illnesses which have occurred in our history, one can
expect that the Twenty-Fifth Amendment will receive frequent
application in the future of our country.
