What do we do if the President Dies . . . or Goes Nuts?

from Your Weekly Constitutional · host Stewart Harris

What happens if the President dies or resigns? What happens if he goes, well, nuts?Our original Constitution was a little bit vague on those subjects. Fortunately, 50 years ago, during the height of the Cold War, the 25th Amendment was ratified. It answered at least some of these pressing questions.We’ll speak with someone who participated in its drafting, Professor John Feerick, the former Dean of Fordham Law School, who is also the author of the Pulitzer-Prize-nominated book, "The Twenty-Fifth Amendment: Its Complete History and Application."
