25 , ? || What is 25th Amendment to US Constitution ||
The 25th amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides an avenue for a president to be removed from the helm of government -- temporarily or for good, willingly or not -- when necessary under extraordinary circumstances. At times during President Donald Trumps tumultuous term, his critics have cited the amendment approvingly, even wishfully, while reviewing what they consider his erratic behavior. It was discussed anew after Trump was diagnosed with Covid-19. The siege of the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters has again raised the topic, even with Trump in his final weeks as president.

  1. What does the 25th amendment say?

It clarifies that the vice president becomes acting president when a president becomes unable to carry out his duties -- when, say, the president undergoes major surgery. It also provides that a president can be removed if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet determines he or she is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office. If the president contests the finding, and the vice president and cabinet persist, Congress can order the presidents removal by a two-thirds vote in both chambers.

Why does this exist?

To address some questions about presidential and vice presidential succession that the Constitution didnt specifically answer. For instance, when President William Harrison died in office in 1841, there was a debate over whether Vice President John Tyler would become acting president, or president, or officially remain vice president. (Tyler decided on his own to have a judge administer the presidential oath of office.) The 25th amendment was approved by Congress in 1965, and ratified by the requisite three-quarters of U.S. states by 1967, in response to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In the immediate confusion following the shooting of Kennedy, there were tense questions about who would run the country should he survive but only in a semiconscious or otherwise grievously wounded condition.
