25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1967. It outlines the procedures for presidential succession and addresses issues related to presidential disability. This amendment ensures that if a president is unable to perform their duties, the vice president can assume the role of acting president.
The amendment consists of four sections. The first two sections clarify the process for filling a vacancy in the vice presidency and the transfer of power when the president is incapacitated. The remaining sections detail how the vice president and a majority of the cabinet can declare the president unfit to serve.
