This new edition of The Twenty-Fifth Amendment: Its Complete
History and Applications updates John Feerick's landmark study with
the Amendment's uses in the past twenty years and how those uses
(along with new legal scholarship) have changed the Amendment and
perceptions of presidential disability in general. In its
formulation, the Twenty-fifth Amendment was criticized as vague and
undemocratic, but it has made possible swift and orderly
successions to the highest offices in the U.S. government during
some of the most extraordinary events in American history. The
extent of its authority has been tested over the years: During the
Watergate crisis, it was proposed that the Amendment might afford a
means by which a president could transfer presidential power during
an impeachment proceeding, and it was also suggested that the
Amendment could authorize a vice president and cabinet to suspend a
president during a Senate impeachment trial. Where once
presidential disability was stigmatized, today a president under
general anesthesia cedes presidential authority for the length of
the procedure with little controversy. The Twenty-fifth Amendment
is evolving rapidly, and this book is an invaluable guide for legal
scholars, government decision makers, historians, political
scientists, teachers, and students studying the nation's highest
offices.
