This helpful volume covers the twenty-fifth amendment, which established the line of succession in the event of the president's death as well as what to do in the case of the president's disability. A variety of sources explore why the amendment was proposed less than two years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the situations in which it was and was not invoked after ratification, and calls to clarify or change it.
