Presidential Disability
Presidential disability refers to a situation where the President of the United States is unable to perform their duties due to physical or mental health issues. This can occur due to illness, injury, or other incapacitating conditions. The U.S. Constitution, specifically the 25th Amendment, outlines the procedures for addressing presidential disability.
When a president is deemed unable to fulfill their responsibilities, the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet can declare the president incapacitated. In such cases, the Vice President assumes the role of acting president until the president can resume their duties or until Congress decides otherwise.
